Star Trackers

High Performance, Compact Star Trackers

A high-accuracy miniature star tracker equipped with a baffle and precision optical lens for
reliable star imaging. The star tracker outputs quaternions and has both “lost in space” and tracking modes. To support production and quality assurance at scale, we have dark optics tunnels designed and built in-house. These allow for the concurrent calibration of multiple star trackers. The modular design of these tunnels makes them easily scalable based on production demands.

Proven estimator and control algorithms for all common mission scenarios

New!

Product partnership with Sodern’s Auriga Star Tracker

With the in-house development of the CubeAuriga processing unit, customers can now seamlessly integrate the Auriga™ star tracker directly with the CubeADCS. This makes it an ideal choice for missions that demand high pointing accuracy, wider maneuvering capabilities, and exceptional performance throughout the orbit.
