A method for estimating the attitude of a vehicle by using a global navigation satellite system having a plurality of satellites, wherein the vehicle comprises at least a first antenna and a second antenna having a separation to each other, comprising the steps of: detecting an outage of said global navigation satellite system; starting a dead-reckoning algorithm in order to extrapolate a change in attitude during the outage of said global navigation satellite system obtaining a dead-reckoned attitude; detecting that said global navigation satellite system has recovered, in particular via the availability of carrier phase observables and calculating a new attitude using the recovered global navigation satellite system by incorporating the obtained dead-reckoned attitude as a starting condition.
