Multi-Aperture CMOS Sun Sensor for Microsatellite Attitude Determination
This paper describes the high precision digital sun sensor under development at the University of Naples. The sensor determines the sun line orientation in the sensor frame from the measurement of the sun position on the focal plane. It exploits CMOS technology and an original optical head design with multiple apertures. This allows simultaneous multiple acquisitions of the sun as spots on the ...
متن کاملA Pinhole Sun Sensor for Balloon-borne Experiment Attitude Determination
We report on the design, calibration and in-flight performance of a sun sensor, which is used to determine the attitude of a balloon-borne telescope. The device uses a position-sensitive detector (PSD) in a pinhole camera. By determining the position of the image of the Sun on the PSD, the orientation of the sun sensor and the boresight of the telescope relative to the Sun can be determined. Th...
متن کاملComputer Simulation Model of Sun Sensor and Magnetic Sensor for Attitude Determination of a Small Satellite
In this article mathematical and computer models of sun sensor and magnetic sensor are considered that can be used for determination of small satellite attitude. In particular, the mathematical models of slit sun sensor and flux-gate magnetic sensor are given.
متن کاملA Novel Multi-Aperture Based Sun Sensor Based on a Fast Multi-Point MEANSHIFT (FMMS) Algorithm
With the current increased widespread interest in the development and applications of micro/nanosatellites, it was found that we needed to design a small high accuracy satellite attitude determination system, because the star trackers widely used in large satellites are large and heavy, and therefore not suitable for installation on micro/nanosatellites. A Sun sensor + magnetometer is proven to...
متن کاملA High Performance Star Sensor System for Full Attitude Determination on a Microsatellite
ABSTRACT A high precision star sensor system is presented for accurate attitude determination on the SUNSAT microsatellite. The design constraints were low cost, mass, volume and power. The principle of operation is to image stars and match the observed constellation to a star catalogue. A set of corresponding observed and reference vectors are used to feed an extended Kalman filter for full at...
