On-board inertial guidance system for satellite launch vehicle Europa, which is fitted in third stage of launch vehicle, consists basically of inertial sensing subsystem which measures attitude and accelerations of vehicle, and digital computer which calculates control signals for autopilots to maintain vehicle on near optimal trajectory; to engineer system around these two basic subsystems necessitated development of special purpose interface unit and power supply converter; principal functions of interface unit, and its relation to inertial guidance system and vehicle control loop are described.
