A Brightness-Referenced Star Identification Algorithm for APS Star Trackers
Star trackers are currently the most accurate spacecraft attitude sensors. As a result, they are widely used in remote sensing satellites. Since traditional charge-coupled device (CCD)-based star trackers have a limited sensitivity range and dynamic range, the matching process for a star tracker is typically not very sensitive to star brightness. For active pixel sensor (APS) star trackers, the...
متن کاملa star identification algorithm based on a voting scheme for star trackers
star identification is one of the most important stages in attitude determination with star trackers. this can be performed using matching algorithms between observed stars and a master star catalogue. the main challenge in this approach is to provide a fast and reliable identification algorithm that is sufficiently robust in different pointing views of the star tracker optical system in the sp...
متن کاملThe Mons Star Trackers
There is clear scientific interest in using the photometry from a star tracker to observe variable stars. Despite the small aperture, the advantages of space (long observing periods and no atmospheric scintillation) make such a camera superior to ground-based telescopes for some applications. The only example so far has been the work by Buzasi et al. (2000 and these Proceedings), who are making...
متن کاملCOTS Detectors for Nanosatellite Star Trackers: A Case Study
In recent years, many imaging sensors for small satellites have adopted CMOS active pixel sensors. The Aptina MT9P031 in particular, has seen many adopters. This paper presents lessons learned from our experience integrating this detector with the Sinclair Interplanetary S3S Star Tracker. We present practical advice for handling and assembly and discuss strategies for maximizing image quality o...
متن کاملAas 99-437 Sp-search Star Pattern Recognition for Multiple Fields-of-view Star Trackers
This paper presents the extension of the Spherical-Polygon Search technique, to accomplish the star pattern recognition, to the recently proposed multiple fieldof-view star trackers DIGISTAR II and III which observe star fields in orthogonal directions, thus providing substantial gain in both the attitude estimation accuracy and in the operating time. The main idea of the proposed algorithm, wh...
