Leonardo has the capability to provide Star Sensors for a wide variety of mission requirements and applications, ranging from high accuracy pointing of scientific instruments and platforms, to medium field of view sensors with autonomous attitude determination capability for Earth Observation and Telecommunication (TLC) programs. Leonardo’s High Resolution Star Trackers have been used in all the ESA telescopes (ISO, SAX, SOHO) since 1995. Medium FOV Star Trackers have been used in many scientific missions (ROSETTA, MARS EXPRESS, MRO, NEW HORIZONS, JWST, BEPICOLOMBO, HAYABUSA-2, DART, SPP) and standard GEO TLC platform (AlphaSat and SpaceBus 4000 platform). By leveraging on the increased computational and data storage capabilities available today on the market, Leonardo is replacing its APS autonomous Star Tracker (AA-STR) with a next generation star sensor combining the advantages of reduced size, mass and power consumption, with agility and suitability for high performance and severe radiation environment missions for GEO TLC, Commercial and for applications such as Earth Observation, Science and Deep Space.
