A new method is proposed to calibrate the installation errors of SINS. According to the method, the installation errors of the gyro and accelerometer can be calibrated simultaneously, which not depend on latitude, gravity, scale factor and earth's rotation rate. By the multi-position combinations, the installation errors of the gyro and accelerometer are modulated into the sine and cosine functions, which can be identified respectively based on the least squares. In order to verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis, the SINS is experimented by a three-axis turntable, and the installation errors of the gyro and accelerometer are identified respectively according to the proposed method. After the compensation of the installation error, the accuracy of the SINS is improved significantly.


Occultations of stars by the Moon, and solar and lunar eclipses are analysed for variations in the Earth’s rotation over the past 2700 years. Although tidal braking provides the dominant, long-term torque, it is found that the rate of rotation does not decrease uniformly as would be expected if tidal friction were the only mechanism affecting the Earth’s rotation. There are also non-tidal changes present that vary on timescales ranging from decades to millennia. The magnitudinal and temporal behaviour of these non-tidal variations are evaluated in this paper.
