  2. Star tracker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_tracker

    A star tracker is an optical device that measures the positions of stars using photocells or a camera. [1] As the positions of many stars have been measured by astronomers to a high degree of accuracy, a star tracker on a satellite or spacecraft may be used to determine the orientation (or attitude ) of the spacecraft with respect to the stars.

    The STARS real-time star tracking software operates on an image from EBEX 2012, a high-altitude balloon-borne cosmology experiment launched from Antarctica on 2012-12-29. A star tracker is an optical device that measures the position(s) of star(s) using photocell(s) or a camera. [14]

  5. Inertial Stellar Compass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_Stellar_Compass

    The instrument functions with a combination of a miniaturized star tracker and gyroscopes. It uses a wide field-of-view active pixel star camera and a micro electromechanical system to determine the real-time stellar attitude (orientation) of the spacecraft. It has a mass of 2.5 kg (5.5 lb) and requires 3.5 W power.

    An Agilent Modulation Domain Analyzer 53310A showing the narrow band 4-FSK signal produced by a Raspberry Pi. Occupied bandwidth is about 6 Hz; Synchronization is via a 162 bit pseudo-random sync vector. Each channel symbol conveys one sync bit (LSB) and one data bit (MSB). Duration of transmission is 162 × 8192 ⁄ 12000 = 110.6 s.
