Abstract
This paper considers the problem of attitude determination of Small Satellites by integrating the outputs of angular-rate sensors with carrier-phase measurements from multi-antenna GPS receiver, which are installed on the satellite platform. The problem under certain hypotheses is reduced to a linear estimation problem of orientation errors.
