Reference Manual Steering Axis

[moraveji]

This is an edited version of my post from yesterday.

I have trouble with understanding (EQ 84) of the reference manual (version 13).

What is the meaning of power 2 in the denominator?

How to calculate the numerator to get a vector in the numerator?

Vector pi seems to be 3 by 1; it gets multiplied by another 3 by 1 vector of generalized steering states and then divided by the square of pi again. Could anyone clarify for me please?

Thanks!

Thanks to Ben!

Here is the explanation: The numerator is a cross product of the vectors. The denominator is the norm squared or dot product of PI vector by its transposed.
