Scorpio - Star Tracker

arcsec

Scorpio is the rugged version of Sagitta Star Tracker(also by arcsec), designed for harsher environments with higher radiations and longer missions. It has a built-in extended baffle and an accuracy of 2 arcsec (1σ) cross-boresight and 10 arcsec (1σ) along-boresight.

Scorpio can also detect space debris during the course of its operation and is eligible to participate in the DeDUST program.

Scorpio can be further customized with extra coatings.

Features:

  • Star tracking and attitude determination
  • Full image download capability
  • Image histograms
  • Fast lost-in-space algorithm

Performance:

  • Cross-boresight accuracy: 2" (1σ)
  • Around boresight accuracy: 10" (1σ)
  • Tracks stars up to magnitude 6.2
  • Tracks up to 64 stars
  • Update rate of 7 Hz
  • Field of view: 24.8°
  • Autonomous calibration

Robustness:

  • Lost-in-space availability: >99% of the night sky
  • Discards vast majority of false star instances
  • Autonomous detection and correction for outlier stars
  • Baffle sun rejection angle: 30°
  • Radiation shielded lens
  • Electronics are radiation tested
