Detailed Description

LAT Attitude Processing Package.

Author:: D.L. Wood

This library contains functions and definitions for manipulating and transforming vectors in LAT instrument body coordinates to vectors in J2000 coordinates. The ultimate goal is to produce a vector in J2000 coordinates (RA, DEC) for any given cartesian vector in LAT local coordinates.

The attitude information is input in the form of an attidude state vector which consists of a:

Timestamp as a 64-bit WCT value
Four element SC-J2000 attitude quaternion
Three element SC angular velocity vector

This information is provided to the LAT from the SC GNC system. The attitude library maintains a short time history of the attitude information to allow for vector transformations at arbitrary times in the recent past. Call the function ATT_update() to inform the attitude processing software of a new message available from the SC.

ATT_Control

unsigned int ATT_exit ( ATT_Control * ctl )

Shutdown the attitude processing global handle.

Parameters:

ctl A pointer to the ATT global control structure.

Returns:
A ATT MSG code.

ATT_Control * ATT_get ( void )
