An onboard star tracking system is used to provide continuous attitude data based on a fixed star catalog. An orbital position reference for the sensed star data is estimated from uploaded data. The attitude is calculated based solely on the star sensor data referenced to the estimated orbital position and compared to mission attitude to generate an attitude adjustment.
