Description:
Attendant upon the use of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) in upcoming planetary missions, is the need to assess errors in the pointing angles of the instrument boresight due to spacecraft ephemeris errors. Developed herein are the constrained analytic partials of these boresight angles not only with respect to a motion-related, cartesian frame but also with respect to classical orbital elements. While both systems have great utility for spacecraft based instruments, the former system should prove useful for SAR instruments on aircraft.
