Summary
The arcsec Star simulator is designed for space applications.
It allows carrying 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.
Key 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 artifacts
- False stars - Black pixels truly emit no light
- Custom designed lens and high-resolution screen result in the high-quality image display
- Closed casing included
- Interface:
- Interface with C and Python
- USB-C connection
- Parameters can be set in the graphical user interface or via a log file
