The fine error sensor located within the Princeton Experiment Package (PEP) is designed to aquire a star within its field of view to hold the spacecraft within plus or minus one-tenth of an arc second in pitch, and plus or minus three-arc seconds about the yaw axis. Pointing accuracy and stability tests of the fine error sensor exceeded the plus or minus 0.1 arc second requirement.
