The state of the art in onboard computing for digital attitude control subsystems (AOCS) is illustrated by the infrared astronomical satellite and Voyager systems. Functional, software and hardware aspects of general importance for AOCS are discussed. Fault tolerance in hardware and software as a fundamental approach towards reliable AOCS design is treated. The characteristics of the microprocessors used are summarized.
