  • Publication number: 20230331403
    Abstract: A method for determining the position of a spacecraft in space, includes cyclically÷ repeating steps of capturing distorted star images; processing the distorted star images to form distorted star group data; storing the distorted star group data; determining a current rotation rate by comparing the distorted star group data of two consecutive cycles; transmitting the current rotation rate to a position control system; and/or the following steps are carried out: processing the distorted star images of a current cycle to form rectified star group data; determining position information by matching the rectified star group data with star group catalog data which is carried along; transmitting the position information to the position control system. A method for determining the position of a spacecraft in space, taking into account known system parameters of an optical system, includes: coding star group catalog data with n = 3...

  • Patent number: 9296495
    Abstract: A hybrid network of kinematic sensors of an AOCS, made up of a star sensor including an optical camera head, and a processing unit provided as the central master processing unit, and additional kinematic sensors, each made up of a sensor element and a processing unit connected to the central processing unit via a first bus. An additional processing unit is equivalent to the processing unit and is a redundant central processing unit. The central processing units and—are connected via an additional bus of a spacecraft provided with the hybrid network with the aid of a central computer. The particular active central processing units-provide all kinematic sensors with a uniform time pulse via a synchronization line, and supply the central computer with hybridized kinematic measuring data formed according to a method for hybridization based on the synchronous kinematic measuring data of the star sensor and the measuring data of the other sensors.
