Toward a Fault-Tolerant Star Tracker for Small Satellite Applications
IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems, 2020 Star trackers are autonomous, high-accuracy electronic systems used to determine the attitude of a spacecraft. In recent years, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS)-based star trackers are growing in importance for low-cost and short-duration missions, but ...

Modeling of intensified high dynamic star tracker
Optics Express, 2017 An intensified high dynamic star tracker (IHDST) is a photoelectric instrument and stably outputs three-axis attitude for a spacecraft at very high angular velocity. The IHDST uses an image intensifier to multiply the incident starlight. Thus, high sensitivity of the star detection is achieved under short exposure time such that extremely high dynamic ...
