This handbook aims to provide both satellite payload and attitude control system designers with a consistent, unambiguous approach to the formulation, definition and interpretation of attitude pointing and measurement specifications. It reviews and assesses the current terminology and practices, and from them establishes a set of unified terminology, giving the user a sound basis to understand the meaning and implications of various specifications and requirements. Guidelines are presented for defining the characteristics of the error sources influencing satellite pointing and attitude measurement, and their combination in performance verification.
