ST200 Star Tracker
AAC Hyperion
The ST400 is a standalone, low mass, low power star tracker, which renders attitude determination capability to small satellites. It has been jointly developed by Hyperion Technologies B.V. and Berlin Space Technologies GmbH.
The ST400 is an improved version of the smaller ST200 star tracker, which is aimed at applications in pico- and nano-satellite platforms. It features increased attitude determination accuracy and increased radiation tolerance. The ST400 has been qualified for man-rated missions since October 2013 and has flight heritage since 2016.
