SUNTRACKER: an accurate Sun sensor for Earth geographical North detection

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

After the success of the CTI SpaceTracker prestudy, in which the feasibility of a high precision SunTracker|was successfully demonstrated, Vectronix decided to push the SunTracker demonstrator close to a|product prototype. This signifies an enhancement of the performances (increase of the field of view and|the accuracy) and implies the complex and delicate establishment of a process for the realization of|calibrated and robust devices.
