Effects of the LGS geometry on the Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor and the Pyramid wavefront sensor

open access: yes
International audienceIn this work we study the effects of the laser guide star (LGS) on the measurements of both the Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor (SHWFS) and the Pyramid wavefront sensor (PWFS).

Accelerated motion star spot centroid localization method for star tracker under high dynamic conditions

open access: yesOptics Express
The star spot centroid localization accuracy of the star tracker directly determines the accuracy of satellite attitude control. To address the degradation of attitude determination accuracy during high-acceleration maneuvers, this study establishes a star spot acceleration motion model in the sensor coordinate system.

Fast and Robust pointing and tracking using a second-generation star tracker.

open access: yes, 1998
Second generation star trackers work by taking wide-angle optical pictures of star fields, correlating the image against a star catalogue in ROM, centroiding many stars to derive an accurate position and orientation.

A Highly Efficient Attitude Estimation Algorithm for Star Trackers Based on Optimal Image Matching

open access: yes, 2012
This paper presents a novel attitude estimation algorithm for spacecraft using a star tracker. The algorithm is based on an efficient approach to match the stars of two images optimally on top of each other, hence the name of the algorithm: AIM (Attitude
