Abstract
An attitude experiment is currently being developed to fly on a Sparta n Space Shuttle deployed spacecraft. The experiment, called the GPS At titude Determination And Control System (GADACS), is expected to answe r key questions to help pave the way for GPS attitude sensing in the f uture. An overview of the GADACS experiment, its mission goals, hardwa re description, and control law design, is presented.
