Abstract
Unlike fin-stabilized projectiles, there has been some difficulty measuring the attitudes of spin-stabilized projectiles during the long-range flight due to their high spin rates. In this work, solar and geomagnetic sensors were used to measure the attitude of a spin-stabilized projectile. A method to calculate the attitude of the projectile from the signals of the sensors was introduced as well as the methods to process the signals of the sensors. To validate the methods, the attitude of a projectile was calculated with the sensor signals from the actual flight data.
