Modifications and enhancements that have been made to the Recursive Estimation Attitude Program (REAP) are discussed. Continuous attitudes for OSO-8 to + or - 0.05 degree accuracy are determined from Sun and star slit sensors mounted on the spinning portion of the spacecraft. The bulk of the attitude production is performed by a Weighted Least Squares (WLS) batch processor, but REAP is used for problem passes such as those involving gas jet maneuvers, sparse star fields, or star sensor saturation by high energy particles in the South Atlantic Anomaly.
