Star Tracker Simulator - arcsec

Arcsec's star tracker simulator has been designed to fit with star trackers of 44x50 mm of dimensions. It consists of an OLED screen that can replicate the sky in space and light up pixels to simulate stars and space debris. It also contains a lens to focus the star tracker ad infinitum.

Arcsec’s Star Simulator allows to carry out hardware in the loop tests with arcsec’s star trackers. The simulator allows to generate a variety of star images with realistic noise sources and rotational rates. A custom lens ensures that the image is displayed to the star tracker as it would be in space.

Features:

• Display images with different FOVs, focal lengths and sizes
• Inertial pointing and slew maneuvers with different rotational rates can be set
• Displays mission scenarios based on position, time and pointing mode
• Representative noise sources:
  • Stray light
  • Radiation artefacts
  • False stars
• Auto calibration mode
• Black pixels truly emit no light
• Custom designed lens and high resolution screen result in high quality image display
• Closed casing included
