NavList:

Hello to all,

Your Unistar thread Alex, has stirred and keeps raising a lot of interest, indeed ...

Well done !

Given its publication date with its abstract content, I eventually come into thinking that the article I was earlier referring to is this very same article published in 1983 to which I had once access during a former professional life :

" IN: Guidance and Control Conference, Gatlinburg, TN, August 15-17, 1983, Collection of Technical Papers (A83-41659 19-63). New York, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 1983, p. 849-855."

So, thank you to have singled out this article among a great number of publications on the same subject.

As I can recall, in its example(s), this specific 1983 article did indicate quite simple interesting results about the "best" star to use. Maybe it was not exactly the one I mentioned (i.e. the one on top of the Target at the time when the missile will reach it), but it was something quite similar in simplicity to remember.

Any details on this specific "best star point" from you NavList Members who still have this article at hand ? NOTA : This information definitely was "public domain/access" at that time, and should still have remained so, to the best of my knowledge at least.

Kermit
