The present disclosure relates to a calibrated constellation simulator, a system and a method for calibrating and/or testing a star sensor assembled on a spacecraft. The calibrated constellation simulator comprises an optical device configured to project a defined star formation (IRF) of a star catalog onto a star sensor assembled on a spacecraft. Further, the calibrated constellation simulator comprises an alignment unit with a position and/or location reference (ARF) of the calibrated constellation simulator configured to detect a position and/or location of the calibrated constellation simulator in space, wherein the defined star formation (IRF) and the position and/or location reference (ARF) are in a first fixed calibrated rotation (QOSPS) with respect to one another. The calibrated constellation simulator improves the calibration of the star sensor as an independent calibration standard. The constellation simulator becomes a calibration standard.
