The star sensor for the nanosatellite

The full cycle of development was carried out for the tiny star sensor for the nanosatellite, from the concept to the production documentation, manufacturing of a prototype and its tests and calibration at specially created optical test bench. Algorithms for decrease in noise and accuracy increase are offered. On this base the astroorientation star tracker system of several coordinated tiny star sensors on one nanosatellite is offered. Such system allows to reduce the requirements to the individual star sensor entering the system. Works on improvement of characteristics of the developed sensor and its preparation for practical use on nanosatellites is continued now.
