A three-axis star-pointing attitude control system has been developed for the Skylark sounding rocket. The system uses a simple strap-down inertial system to carry out precision manoeuvres to locate the target star, starting from an initial moon-pointing orientation. The star sensor is capable of providing adequate error information for stars down to visual magnitude 5. (Author)
