Embodiments of the present invention include a two-stage blending filter that blends the measurements from two angular sensors to form a single superior high bandwidth measurement for improved disturbance rejection in a satellite systems for increased accuracy in satellite pointing, orientation, and attitude control. Embodiments of the present invention can include a satellite system including a first sensor including or defining a first measurement bandwidth; a first filter connected to the first sensor; a second sensor including or defining a second measurement bandwidth; a second filter connected to the second sensor; and a third filter connected to the first filter and the second filter. The third filter blend the first signal and the second signal into a third signal; and transmit the third signal to a flight controller configured to adjust an orientation of the satellite, a satellite subsystem, or both, relative to a target in response to the third signal.
