This work presents a new approach to gyro calibration where, in addition to being used for computing attitude that is needed in the calibration process, the gyro outputs are also used as measurements in a Kalman filter. This work also presents an algorithm for calibrating a quadruplet rather than the customary triad gyro set. In particular, a new misalignment error model is derived for this case. The new calibration algorithm is applied to the EOS-AQUA satellite gyros. The effectiveness of the new algorithm is demonstrated through simulations.
