Two computationally efficient algorithms are presented for determining three-axis attitude from two or more vector observations. The first of these, the TRIAD algorithm, provides a deterministic (i.e., nonoptimal) solution for the attitude based on two vector observations. The second, the QUEST algorithm, is an optimal algorithm which determines the attitude that achieves the best weighted…

which relates the displacements u(x,t) of the equilibrium position of a flexible structure ft (a bounded open connected set with smooth boundary dfi in /7-dimensiona l space R) to the applied force distribution F(x,t). The mass density m(x) is a positive function of the location x on the structure. The change of variables u(x,t) ^u(x,t)/m(x)…
The linear-quadratic-Gaussian method for feedback control design is extended to include frequency-shaped weighting matrices in the quadratic cost functional. This extension provides a means to meet classical design requirements with automated computational procedures of modern control theory. A design algorithm to optimize frequency-shaped cost functional requires definition of new states and the solution of a…
HE formulation of equations of motion, always an important facet of spacecraft design and performance analysis, is receiving ever greater attention as vehicles become larger and more complex and as the need grows more and more acute to predict spacecraft motions accurately. This article is intended to answer the following question that is clearly central…
Modern guidance systems are generally accepted to yield better performance than classical proportional navigation systems. However, it is not always recognized that this better performance carries with it certain costs in improved components or additional instruments. This paper compares a modern guidance system (MGS) to a classical proportional navigational (PN) homing missile guidance system in…
