DEVELOPMENT OF THE STAND FOR TESTING THE MATHEMATICAL SUPPORT AND SOFTWARE OF STAR TRACKER
The star tracker is the high technology and high-precision device for determination of spacecraft angular position. In recent years it became an integral part of the spacecraft attitude determination and control system. Mathematical support and software is one of the most science intensive parts of the star tracker for testing and verification of which it is necessary to develop various testing equipment. In this article, the development of the stand for the testing of the star tracker’s mathematical support and software on determination of its attitude is considered.
