By means of 3 magnetic aspect sensors, aspect of rocket can be computed for whole flight; as example, computation is exposed for Veronique rocket V 27; comparison of results with data given by instruments on board of V 27 shows excellent agreement; rocket remained nose up during all flight, until re-entry in dense layers (45 km); after some wavering, axis is placed on its precession cone; roll is about 55 rpm.
