This paper presents the methods for attitude determination using the static wide angle field of view sensors of NUSAT 1. Some supporting analysis and operational results are given. The system gives at best a crude attitude determination.
The methods for obtaining the gain pattern of an Air Traffic Control Radar using the data collected by NUSAT 1 are presented. The basic equations for this are given; these require an independently determined satellite attitude. In addition we show how simultaneous measurements made by separate channels can be related to obtain a single axis attitude, i.e., the direction of propagation of the incident radiation, and the power density of the radiation. This is done by solving a system of three algebraic equations.
