The Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) function on the International Space Station (ISS) determines navigation parameters (state vector, attitude, angular rate, pointing data, time), maintains Station attitude (non propulsively as a rule but propulsively when necessary), executes translation and reboost maneuvers, and supports microgravity experiments by limiting accelerations. The accuracies to which GN&C is to perform its functions are summarized, and then the expected performance of the current GN&C design is described, including pointing accuracy. Attitude bounds are illustrated as a function of calendar date given the current (Revision D) station assembly sequence and schedule.
