An approach is presented for attitude determination of a three axis stabilized spacecraft. The employment of two independent vectors is described whose components with respect to two reference coordinate axes can be known. Such two coordinate axes are right-handed three mutually orthogonal axes systems of which one is fixed in the spacecraft and the other has known orientation in space. The relationship between the two systems are then expressed as mathematical equations with the use of the two reference vectors. By computing the derived equations, the attitude of the spacecraft can be obtained.
