A 3-axes reference system, also known as a 3-axis reference frame or a triaxial reference system, is a coordinate system used to describe the orientation and rotation of an object in three-dimensional space. In spacecraft control systems or aircraft navigation, a 3-axes reference system is crucial for understanding the orientation of the vehicle and making precise maneuvers.
