ERS-1, the first ESA Remote Sensing Satellite, is currently flying on a Sun synchronous orbit. Its three axis stabilized attitude is estimated and controlled by onboard software. During the commissioning phase of the spacecraft, an onground attitude restitution is needed to help calibrate some of the payload instruments. The approach and methods taken to perform this on ground attitude restitution task are outlined.
