Abstract:Optical navigation on a CubeSat must rely on the best extraction of the directions of some beacons from on-board images. We present an experiment on OPS-SAT, a CubeSat of the European Space Agency (ESA), that will characterize an onboard algorithm to this aim, named Angle-based Correlation (AbC). OPS-SAT is a 3-unit CubeSat with an Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) and an imager that have proved their reliability with typical performance at CubeSat scale. We selected a few star-fields that all p… Show more
