Abstract:
Star tracker is one of the most complex and most accurate satellite attitude sensors. In this thesis, the concepts associated with stars, coordinate systems and HIPPARCOS database parameters described.
Basic principles of center of mass of the star to be discussed. Innovated method for Star identification algorithm based on image gridding will be discussed.
Then, the lost in space mode algorithms to be described, and finally inter-star angles algorithm was selected as the optimal algorithm. According to field tests and simulation results show that a very high success rate was achieved.
Generally, tracking algorithms is depended on rate information that provide by satellite or by gyro. In this project an innovative algorithm (ROJA1 tracking algorithm) for tracking mode- without using angular rate data- is developed .which reduce weight, cost, power consumption of star tracker.
Mathematical Foundations of Reliability for different modes was done and result indicated of high success rate. Afterwards star tracker hardware including image sensor, baffle -mathematical bases of its calculation- processing unit and .… will be discussed.
Design and fabrication of ROJA -1 star tracker is one of the results of this thesis, the first operating prototype star tracker in the country, has achieved.
This includes innovation in methods of identifying and tracking stars, innovation in design and construction elements, optical, electro-optical, processor, baffles, side circuitry, achieve operational accuracy is 18 arcsec and ...
ROJA1 star tracker and its algorithms have been field tests in different geographical areas of the country and it has proven succeed results
