ANALYTICAL ATTITUDE DETERMINATION FROM A SPECIFIC RATE PROFILE
- The problem dealt with in this paper is the analytical determination of the attitude of a rigid body which undergoes a given rate profile. Usually the attitude is determined by solving the kinematic differential equation numerically. For long lasting movements the outcome can cost computation time plus encountered losses in accuracy, which can be disturbing especially in optimization problems. This contribution solves the kinematic differential equation for certain rate profiles exactly and compares the results in accuracy and computation time with the standard procedures.
