  • Abstract
    Different derivations of the kinematic equation for the rotation vector are discussed within a common framework. Simpler and more direct derivations of this kinematic equation are presented than are found in the literature. The kinematic equation is presented in terms of both the body-referenced angular velocity and the inertially referenced angular velocity. The kinematic equation is shown to have the same form in both the passive and active descriptions of attitude
