Determination of the orientation of a suspended mock-up using one-axis gyroscope

A problem of attitude determination of a string-suspended muck-up equipped with one-axis angular velocity sensor (gyroscope) is considered. Particulars of the extended adaptive Kalman filter theory are stated. Kalman filters based on various models of the mock-up are presented. Computer simulation of the attitude determination of the mock-up is carried out using the filters. Laboratory facility for laboratory simulation is developed at the KIAM RAS which is used for the filter verification.
