This paper provides a brief overview of the DSI attitude control subsystem, shares a few lessons-learned, and describes some of the many daunting challenges faced by our tiny flight team during the course of the mission. Special focus will be given to the nuances of flying a spacecraft with ion propulsion, our nick-of-time rewrite of the attitude determination software after the failure of the on-board star tracker in late 1999, and DSl's subsequent successful flyby of comet Borrelly on September 22, 2001.
