The on-ground attitude determination of the Hipparcos satellite, is examined. It is based on the information from the star mapper transits, and the satellite's gyroscopes. According to the physical perturbations, such as solar radiation pressure, acting on the satellite, models of the satellite attitude are developed. Concerning the attitude estimation, the body rigidity, the disturbance and control torques, the gyro and star mapper measurements are discussed. The adopted procedures for star coordinates and attitude improvements are given.
