Star tracker specifications were determined; these specifications were used in the star tracker study. Solar collector performance and preliminary specifications were established for earth satellite missions. Several detail engineering design studies were made on solar collector orientation that included orientation of payload to earth vertical, sensing components, and torque-producing components. A study of attitude sensing by means of body-mounted rate gyros was made and feasibility of this concept was established. Space motion simulation tests were performed on the various simulators, including a star simulator, to check out the star tracker. Funding limitations on the Advanced Reentry Vehicle Program prohibited as large an effort as originally planned in this subtask, but within the limited funding the majority of the objectives were achieved.
