Strapdown inertial guidance performance in space
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the evolution of strapdown inertial system technology at Hamilton Standard with primary emphasis on demonstrated performance in space. Specific attention is directed toward the Redundant Inertial Measurement Unit presently in use on the Inertial Upper Stage. The extension of this current technology towards emerging space applications, requiring higher levels of autonomous fault tolerance, is discussed.
