In small satellite missions, attitude knowledge is essential. A star tracker Cubesat system provides reliable, autonomous orientation data using celestial navigation. With the growing demand for miniaturized, high-accuracy systems, these trackers have become a key component in nanosatellite design.
Star trackers capture images of the night sky and compare them to onboard star catalogs. Advanced pattern-matching algorithms then determine the spacecraft’s orientation in real time.
Due to limited space and weight budgets, Cubesats require compact, efficient, and low-power sensors. Star trackers meet these requirements while delivering arcsecond-level accuracy.
High-accuracy attitude data
Autonomous operation without ground input
Real-time tracking for dynamic missions
Compatibility with attitude control modules
These benefits make star trackers ideal for imaging satellites, deep-space probes, and technology demonstration payloads.
Cubesats have tight restrictions, so choosing a lightweight and power-efficient unit is critical.
A faster update rate ensures more responsive control. Accuracy is vital for optical payload pointing.
Spaceborne electronics must withstand cosmic radiation. Ensure the tracker is rated for orbital environments.
