A method has been developed for precise sensor platform attitude determination which exploits the availability of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors on future planned NASA earth orbiting spacecraft. Using the ephemeris along with data on planet shape and rotation, the relative motion between sensor and target area and therefore the Doppler frequency shift in the returned echo data is determined. Equations have been developed that relate the Doppler shift to the antenna attitude. The method is tested by comparing attitude predictions from SEASAT SAR digital echo data with available conventionally determined SEASAT attitude information.
