N2 - In this paper a relative attitude determination solution of a formation of two vehicles with multiple constraints is shown. The solution for the relative attitude between the two vehicles is obtained only using line-of-sight measurements between them and common (unknown) objects observed by both vehicles. The constraints used in the solution are formed from triangles on the vector observations. Multiple constraints are used for each object and the solution is cast into a Wahba problem formulation. Simulation runs are shown that study the performance of the new approach.
