Shuttle unified navigation filter, revision 1

Equations designed to meet the navigation requirements of the separate shuttle mission phases are presented in a series of reports entitled, Space Shuttle GN and C Equation Document. The development of these equations is based on performance studies carried out for each particular mission phase. Although navigation equations have been documented separately for each mission phase, a single unified navigation filter design is embodied in these separate designs. The purpose of this document is to present the shuttle navigation equations in a form in which they would most likely be coded-as the single unified navigation filter used in each mission phase. This document will then serve as a single general reference for the navigation equations replacing each of the individual mission phase navigation documents (which may still be used as a description of a particular navigation phase).

Space shuttle GN and C equation document no. 21: Shuttle unified navigation filter

The space shuttle navigation equations are presented in a form for a single unified navigation filter used in each mission phase. The document serves as a single reference for the navigation equations replacing each of the individual mission phase navigation documents previously published. The fundamental characteristics of the navigation filter are described. The features of the unified formulation of the filter are analyzed.
