Mathematical and data analysis techniques are developed to determine the attitude and attitude dependent outputs for the proposed flight of the Aerobee Rocket A35.191-4. The on-board attitude measuring systems consisting of a star mapper, rate integrating gyro, solar aspect sensor, and measurements from a gyroscopic platform will be used in varying combinations to properly determine the orientation of the vehicle during its flight. The attitude accuracy requirements during the special phases of flight (ELE and sawtooth zodiacal scans) dictate the combination of sensors to be used. In addition, final attitude data will be combined with the ephemeris data to calculate tangent height during the ELE scan. (Author)
