Defining Attitude Profiles

The Attitude page provides three different ways to define the attitude profile for a vehicle:

Standard Attitude Profiles

The Standard attitude option lets you define a vehicle's attitude profile using one or more of the following attitude types:

Attitude Type	Description
Basic	Select one of the available predefined attitude types and specify any applicable parameters.
Target Pointing	Define targeted attitudes that override the Basic attitude during selected intervals.
Precomputed	Define an attitude profile using an external file; this profile overrides any Target Pointing or Basic attitude that would otherwise apply during the file's time period. For a satellite, you can also generate an attitude file on the basis of the current attitude.

The Real Time option lets you define the vehicle's attitude profile using near-real time attitude data supplied via Connect.

The Multi Segment option allows you to construct a sequence of attitude profiles using basic, targeted and file-based attitude segments.
