Popis: Fast accurate algorithms are presented for computing an optimal attitude which minimizes a quadratic loss function. These algorithms compute an optimal rotation which carries a set of reference vectors into a set of corresponding observation vectors. Simplifications of these algorithms are obtained for the case of small rotation angles. Applications to the Magsat mission are discussed.
