The objective of the present paper is to give an overview of spacecraft attitude determination with GPS. GPS receivers with single or multiple antennas nowadays are low-cost sensors that constitute a valuable complement to existing sensor suites. GPS has been widely used for positioning and vehicle navigation. However, using GPS as an attitude sensor is still in the experimental stages. The paper starts with a review of existing GPS attitude determination concepts, with emphasis on integrated GPS involving also low cost and robust attitude sensors such as accelerometers and magnetometers.
