The inertial guidance system testing facilities built for the ELDO Europa 2 launch vehicle are described. Strapdown inertial systems and double gimballed momentum wheels for attitude control of spacecraft were developed. Mission analysis studies for ESRO satellites were performed. The Astronomical Netherlands Satellite is controlled by an NLR operations team. Studies for ESRO Helos (Exosat) satellite experiments and ESRO SPACELAB user requirements were also performed.
