<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 />
