Cumulative distribution of reconstructed angle noise level per observation. The noise is estimated by averaging the noise spectral density between 10 and 100 Hz. The vertical red dashed line shows the required noise level. More than 99.9% of observations satisfy the requirement. The median noise level is 0.16 μrad﹩\sqrt{{\rm{s}}}﹩.
