Research on Accuracy of Multi-Channel Star Tracker

Article Preview

Abstract:

Star tracker is an accurate autonomous attitude measurement equipment. Multi-channel star tracker has been widely used and the accuracy of multi-channel star tracker becomes an important issue to study. In order to study this issue, an error model of multi-channel star tracker is established and analysis of accuracy of multi-channel star tracker is carried out with the model. Simulation results show accuracy of multi-channel star tracker is much higher than the single channel ones. There is great potential to develop multi-channel star tracker in the future.
