“…Example publications describing such actual real-world GNSSattitude determination results can be found in [3][4][5][6]. The underlying theory and advanced algorithms for much of the above-referred integer-ambiguity-resolved carrier-phase GNSS attitude determination methods can be found in [7][8][9]. Multi-GNSS developments of integrating GNSS systems for attitude determination are stated in [10,11].…”

Aircraft and spacecraft navigation precision is dependent on the measurement system for position and attitude determination. Rotation of an aircraft can be determined measuring two vectors in two different reference systems. Velocity vector can be determined in the inertial reference frame from a GNSS-based sensor and by integrating the acceleration measurements in the body reference frame. Estimating gravity vector in both reference frames, and combining with velocity vector, determines rotation of the body. A new approach for gravity vector estimations is presented and employed in an attitude determination algorithm. Nonlinear simulations demonstrate that using directly the positioning and velocity outputs of GNSS sensors and strap-down accelerometers, aircraft attitude determination is precise, especially in ballistic projectiles, to substitute precise attitude determination devices, usually expensive and forced to bear high solicitations as for instance G forces.

“…With the development of modern global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), GNSS-based attitude determination has been a vital part in spacecraft instrumentation and measurement [2]. This leads to different algorithms of attitude determination on various platforms, for example, remote sensing and marine navigation [3,4]. In such applications, the attitude determination from vector observation pairs is usually an effective solution [5,6].…”

A novel algorithm is proposed in this paper to solve the optimal attitude determination formulation from vector observation pairs, that is, the Wahba problem. We propose here a fast analytic singular value decomposition (SVD) approach to obtain the optimal attitude matrix. The derivations and mandatory proofs are presented to clarify the theory and support its feasibility. Through simulation experiments, the proposed algorithm is validated. The results show that it maintains the same attitude determination accuracy and robustness with conventional methodologies but significantly reduces the computation time.

“…However, the most challenging task is the correct ambiguity resolution using data from a single epoch in instantaneous positioning (Bock et al 2000;Odijk 2001;Wielgosz et al 2005;Genrich and Bock 2006). Recent research concerns the evaluation of rover observations as active nodes of a ground-based augmentation systems (GBAS) network (Zinas et al 2012), application of new signals from the Galileo system (Odijk et al 2010, special conditions between multiple rover receivers (Giorgi et al 2012), and development and modifications of ambiguity resolution methods (Chang et al 2005;Cellmer et al 2010).…”

Several processing strategies that use dual-frequency GPS-only solution, multi-frequency Galileo-only solution, and finally tightly combined dual-frequency GPS ? Galileo solution were tested and analyzed for their applicability to single-epoch long-range precise positioning. In particular, a multi-system GPS ? Galileo solution was compared to GPS double-frequency solution as well as to Galileo double-, triple-, and quadruple-frequency solutions. Also, the performance of the strategies was analyzed under clear-sky and obstructed satellite visibility in both single-baseline and multi-baseline modes. The results indicate that tightly combined GPS ? Galileo instantaneous positioning has a clear advantage over single-system solutions and provides an accurate and reliable solution. It was also confirmed that application of multi-frequency observations in case of Galileo system has an advantage over a dual-frequency solution.
