Past methods for resolving integer ambiguity, which is key to determining attitude of micro satellite using GPS (global positioning system), are, in our opinion, too slow. We propose a better way of resolving integer ambiguity. Different from past algorithms, which search for resolution of integer ambiguity, we resolve it by making use of what is known about the difference of two position vectors of antenna baseline at two different instants; although only the position vector differences for three different GPS satellites are needed, we use position vector differences for many GPS satellites to make this resolving better.Section 1 explains in detail our way of resolving integer ambiguity.Section 2 explains an algorithm which we prefer to use in determining attitude of micro satellite using GPS; it is different from past algorithms and is applicable in the case of coplanar antenna configuration; some past algorithms such as NLLSFit and Wahba are not applicable in the case of coplanar antenna configuration. Simulation results, given in Figs.1, 2, and 3, show preliminarily that our proposed algorithm is effective in determining attitude of micro satellite using GPS.
