<strong>CCSDS</strong> RECOMMENDED STANDARD FOR ATTITUDE DATA MESSAGES<br />
5.8.3.2 AEM Accuracy vs. Efficiency<br />
The producer of an AEM may optionally report in comment lines the expected accuracy of<br />
the attitude ephemeris. The user may then use this additional information to smooth or<br />
otherwise compress the data without affecting the accuracy of the attitude, but is not required<br />
to utilize this information to successfully process the message. The AEM producer also<br />
should strive to achieve not only the best accuracy possible, taking into account prediction<br />
errors, but also consider the efficiency of the attitude representation (e.g., step sizes of<br />
fractional seconds between attitude ephemeris lines may be necessary for precision scientific<br />
reconstruction of an attitude, but may be excessive in some cases).<br />
