Abstract

The procedure for the determination of satellite nadir and azimuth angles has beenverifiedusing the Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) geolocation algorithm formulated by Wilson and co-workers in 1981. The error involved in the determination of satellite nadir and azimuth angles for positive and negative tilt of the mirror using the above method is discussed. A simple method to determine nadir and azimuth angles for a tilting mirror is proposed. The nadir and azimuth angles after roll, pitch and yaw of the satellite are presented.
