The orientation of a spacecraft in relation to its direction of motion

The angular orientation of a remote sensing system with respect to a geographical reference system.

The angular orientation of a spacecraft as determined by the relationship between its axes and some reference line or plane or some fixed system of axes. Usually, Y is used for the axis that defines the direction of flight, x for the crosstrack axis, perpendicular to the direction of flight, and z for the vertical axis. Roll is the deviation from the vertical (the angle between the z-axis of the vehicle and the vertical axis, or angular rotation around the y-axis). Pitch is the angular rotation around the x-axis. Yaw is rotation around the z-axis.

orientation of satellite in space

The inclination of the axes of an aeroplane to the relative airstream.

The inclination of the axes of an aeroplane relative to the ground.

the orientation of the GALEX with respect to the Earth and the Sun. For science observations the telescope is pointed toward a science target in the sky. During the day side of the orbit the attitude of the satellite is adjusted so that the solar panels can collect sunlight and recharge the on-board batteries.

position of aircraft or spacecraft relative to a frame of reference (the horizon or direction of motion)

the state of a vehicle's roll, pitch and yaw at a given moment.

The position of an aircraft as determined by the relationship between its axes and some reference object such as the horizon.

Attitude is the nose up or nose down orientation of an aircraft's or spacecraft's axes relative to a reference line, plane or direction of motion.

The orientation of a spacecraft or satellite with respect to its direction of motion.

A description of a spacecraft's orientation in space relative to some frame of reference. The Apollo spacecraft used gyroscopic equipment to establish a fixed frame of reference for their attitude. This equipment was periodically corrected using distant stars as a fixed reference.

The state of an aircraft in terms of pitch, bank and yaw.

The orientation of the sensor along with information about the accuracy and precision with which this orientation is known. This data is required to perform proper calibration of instrument data. The attitude is usually stored in Euler angle or quaternion form and may be 1) calculated by the on-board computer and telemetered to the ground or 2) calculated by ground processing facilities (e.g. GSFC Flight Dynamics Facility) using a variety of attitude sensor data.

Orientation of the spacecraft's axes relative to Earth.

orientation of the glider in the pitch, roll or yaw axes.

inclination of aircraft in relation to the ground (heading, pitch, and roll)

The angle of orientation of a remote sensing system with respect to a geographic reference system.

The angular orientation of a camera with respect to some external reference system.

(1) The orientation of an aircraft. See pitch, roll, and yaw. (2) Something that the editor says this author has too much of.

The orientation of an aircraft with respect to the horizon.

The position of a satellite's axes measured against a set of reference axes. Usually measured as pitch, roll, and yaw.

(of a satellite)--The direction in which the satellite is oriented in space.

The orientation of the spacecraft and the accuracy to which that information is known. This includes the satellite's position as well as its roll, pitch and yaw rotation rates.

An aircraft's flying position at a given time.

Orientation of a space vehicle as determined by the relationship between its axes and some reference plane, e.g. the horizon.

The position in space of a spacecraft or aircraft. A satellite's attitude can be measured by the angle the satellite makes with the object it is orbiting, usually the Earth. Attitude determines the direction a satellite's instruments face. The attitude of a satellite must be constantly maintained; this is known as attitude control.
