Study on guide star selection for infrared star sensors

SPIE Future Sensing Technologies, 2019
Star sensors achieve very accurate attitudes for space vehicles by comparing observed stars in their field of view with the cataloged guide stars. Guide star selection is a key work during the star sensor designing. Infrared star sensor provides accuracy navigation information to air vehicles which fly near the ground in the atmosphere.

Optimization of guide star catalog for daytime star sensors

International Journal of Modern Physics B, 2019
Daytime star sensor provides accuracy navigation information to air vehicles near the ground in the daytime by observing stars. It has been an important development of modern star sensors. In order to achieve a high signal-to-noise ratio, daytime star sensors work in the infrared band to avoid interferences from sky background.

Research and simulation of star capture based on star sensor

SPIE Proceedings, 2009
The starlight refraction navigation is considered to be one of the most promising methods for satellite autonomous navigation. This paper mainly did research on the capture of navigation stars in starlight refraction navigation. By studying on the geometry relation between measurement star and satellite, a measurement star orientation method can be ...

A Novel Star Pattern Recognition Algorithm for Star Sensor

2007 International Conference on Machine Learning and Cybernetics, 2007
Triangle algorithm is used widely in the field of star pattern recognition, but it also has disadvantage that recognition reliability decreases seriously in areas where there are many stars existing small angular separation. The character match algorithm can solve this problem and it has small size of guide star database, but it can not recognize a ...

Improved TRIAD for star sensor

Proceedings of 2011 International Conference on Computer Science and Network Technology, 2011
TRIAD is an attitude determination algorithm, which only uses two observed vectors to calculate the attitude of spacecrafts. It has disadvantage of asymmetry using the two observed vectors and not making full use of all the observed star vectors captured by the star sensor.

Thermal effect on star sensor

Advanced Sensor Systems and Applications VIII, 2018
The star sensor is a high-precision attitude measurement device widely used in aerospace vehicles. One of the most significant influence on the accuracy of star sensor is the operating temperature. Experiments show that with the increase of temperature, the dark current noise of CMOS increases exponentially, which greatly reduces the Signal-to-Noise ...

Single pixel star sensor

SPIE Proceedings, 2016
In this paper, a single pixel star sensor has been introduced, which uses the intensity correlation between the modulation matrix and the voltage values of the optical signals. Though controlling single or multiple the reflective mirror of the spatial light modulator as a pixel, it is given in a rough scan or an accurate imaging of the stars.

A hybrid method for accurate star tracking using star sensor and gyros

Review of Scientific Instruments, 2017
Star tracking is the primary operating mode of star sensors. To improve tracking accuracy and efficiency, a hybrid method using a star sensor and gyroscopes is proposed in this study. In this method, the dynamic conditions of an aircraft are determined first by the estimated angular acceleration. Under low dynamic conditions, the star sensor is used to
