             abstract = "Systems of attitude control of artificial satellites are dependent 
                         on a reference attitude, provided by an attitude determination 
                         process. This paper presents the implementation and tests of a 
                         fully self-contained algorithm for the determination of attitude 
                         using magnetometer and accelerometer units, for application on a 
                         satellite attitude simulator based on frictionless air bearing 
                         tables. However it is known that magnetometers and accelerometers 
                         need to be calibrated so as to allow that such measurements are 
                         used to their ultimate accuracy. A calibration method is 
                         implemented which proves to be an essential part of the procedure 
                         to achieve better attitude determination accuracy. For the 
                         stepwise real time attitude determination it was used the 
                         well-known QUEST algorithm which yields quick response with 
                         reduced computer resources. The algorithms are tested and 
                         qualified with actual data collected on the streets under 
                         controlled situations. For such street runaways the experiment 
                         employs an Honeywell (solid-state magneto-resistive technology) 
                         magnetometer HMR-2300 and a Crossbow (Xbow-CD-400) IMU navigation 
                         block consisting of a triad of accelerometers and a triad of 
                         gyros, with MEMS technology. A GPS receiver is used to obtain 
                         positional information. The collected measurements are processed 
                         through the developed algorithms, and comparisons are made for 
                         attitude determination using calibrated and non-calibrated data. 
                         The results show that the implemented process of attitude 
                         determination reaches the requirements for real-time operation 
                         with enough accuracy to a regular standby or emergency mode 
                         operation.",
