Abstract :
The problem of estimating the angular position of a spacecraft moving at a constant velocity using two rotating tracking stations is considered. This reports on an initial phase of analytical studies on the optimal attainable estimation performance and associated receiver design. Perametric dependence of the optimum attainable estimation is also studied.
