The methods utilized to design orbiter attitudes that satisfied the various Space Shuttle program and payload constraints of the Astro-1 Spacelab astronomy mission are described. The premission methods developed for attitude design and how those methods were applied to accomplish the large amount of real-time replanning required during the flight are presented. Some of the attitude concerns for Astro-1 included orbiter window thermal constraints, two separate telescope fields-of-view, tracking and data relay satellite Ku-band access, and telescope sun avoidance.
