STELLA – A New Star Sensor for Pico and Nano Satellites

11.05.2009

The development of a new star sensor for pico and nano satellites (STELLA) has been started following the approval of funding from the German Aerospace Center (DLR). The new sensor will drastically increase the attitude determination capabilities of pico and nano satellites and increase the application fields such as Space Situational Awareness (SSA), astronomy or earth observation, where precise attitude control is required.
