STR-C
Traditional star trackers rely on flat sensors and narrow fields of view, which can limit performance during dynamic maneuvers. STR-C uses a curved sensor that aligns with the natural focal plane, reducing optical distortion and enabling a wider field of view with improved tracking performance.
A wider field of view increases the number of visible stars in each frame, improving tracking reliability, reducing loss of lock, and enabling better performance during rapid motion or partial occlusion.
A curved sensor improves image quality across the entire field of view by minimizing edge distortion. This leads to:
More consistent star detection
Higher accuracy across the frame
Reduced need for corrective optics
Lower size, weight, and lower (SWaP)
STR-C is optimized for high-dynamic environments. Its wide field of view and fast update rates allow it to maintain accurate tracking during rapid motion, reducing star streaking and improving centroiding compared to narrow field-of-view systems.
STR-C is designed for missions that require precise and continuous attitude determination, including:
Earth observation
Defense and ISR applications
Communications satellites
Agile or maneuvering spacecraft
The curved sensor architecture reduces the need for complex optics, resulting in a more compact and efficient system. This enables lower size, weight, and power requirements without compromising performance.
STR-C is designed to maintain performance across a range of operational conditions, including dynamic motion, varying lighting environments, and complex mission profiles.
