The paper is mostly a review of the evolution of the attitude control systems requirements, of the concepts and equipment developed by Sodern for the spacecraft attitude sensing with respect to the Earth and of the experience gained from sensors operation on board satellites. It ends with remarks about the future of sensing techniques for the spacecraft attitude control with respect to the Earth.
