Title: Space vehicle attitude studies
Description: The development of new instrumentation and associated data reduction programs for measuring the orientation attitude of spin-stabilized sounding rockets or satellites has provided a simple low-cost system that is accurate to within 2 deg. The instrumentation has been successfully flown in one satellite and in more than 20 sounding rockets. This paper describes the system performance obtained on two of the sounding rocket flights.
