Abstract :
The Inertial Navigation and Guidance system (ING) with fiber gyros (FOGs) was developed for the ISAS (Institute of Space and Astronautical Science) M-V rocket. The M-V-1 rocket was successfully launched in February 1997. A series of M-V rockets was launched three times and FOG-INGs worked well in all flights. This paper presents the breakthrough points with the flight data of M-V-1 rocket´s ING.
