Accuracy Estimation of the Sounding Rocket Navigation System

Contemporary achievements in the inertial systems technology puts the question how precise consumer grade sensors are and are they sufficient to use in the navigation. The hypothetical subsonic sounding rocket will be examined, since these objects need accurate and not expensive sensors. Following types of the inertial navigation systems will be examined: based on optical gyroscope, high grade and low-grade MEMS systems. Additionally, the individual constituents of the navigation error will be examined.
