This paper presents an extended Kalman filter using an attitude parameterization that is advantageous for attitude estimation of spinning spacecraft. The parameters are the angular momentum components in an inertial reference frame, the angular momentum components in the body frame, and a rotation angle. To avoid the singularity of the 7x7 covariance of this state vector arising from the constraint that the magnitude of the angular momentum vector is the same in the inertial and body frames, the Kalman filter employs the nonsingular 6x6 covariance of a reduced error state. Three of the components of this six-component error state are the usual infinitesimal attitude error angles, so the usual 3x3 attitude covariance matrix is a submatrix of...
