Abstract:	A prototype of a new attitude sensor, one that uses a single GPS antenna mounted on a rotating turntable, is developed, and the accuracy of this system is evaluated using experimental data. A new attitude sensor system has been proven to work experimentally, and its peak attitude error is between 0.4 and 2.0 deg for a 15 cm antenna mounting radius and a rotation rate of about 1000 rpm.
