There exist several algorithms for the optimal orthogonalization of the Direction Cosine Matrix used in navigation, control and simulation One of these recursive algorithms is shown to be derived from a dual solution to the optimal orthogonalization problem. The duality of the algorithm is demonstrated and its convergence properties are investigated Quadratic convergence is proven and the condition for convergence is determined and illustrated with numerical examples.
