Typically coning motion has been used as the input to test the effectiveness of attitude algorithms. Jacobian elliptic functions are also shown to meet the criteria for a test input. Simulations using several of these inputs are performed on Miller's algorithm. Analytical evaluation of a Jacobian elliptic function input would be prohibitive. To alleviate this problem Richardson extrapolation is used to numerically evaluate the algorithms for each test input. Additionally, a method for improving all of the attitude algorithms using interpolation is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
