N2 - A method for relative attitude determination from planar line-of-sight observations is presented. Three vehicles are assumed to be equipped with sensors to provide measurements of the three inter-vehicle line-of-sight vectors. The line-of-sight vectors are further assumed to be always in the same plane. This information is combined with all the available measurements to find an optimal relative attitude estimation solution. Covariance analysis is provided to help gain insight on the statistical properties of the attitude errors of the solution.
