Resumo

Modern star trackers are based on photodetector arrays such as CCD or CMOS arrays. The accuracy of commercially available devices is ~1–3 arcseconds. However, the development of the space industry calls for higher orientation accuracies, which are needed in laser space communications, monitoring of near-Earth space and space debris, high-precision global mapping, and remote sensing of the Earth. The problems associated with enhancing the accuracy of modern star trackers are discussed.
