Key highlights

nanoST of Solar MEMS is an accurate device for attitude determination of Satellites. This sensor captures images of a Star Field with an internal CMOS device and identifies stars and constellations to determine the pointing and attitude of the satellite with high accuracy.

Its robustness is based on highly used COTS devices together with space-grade parts, and it is a plug-and-play, so it does not need any additional electronic support or module for operating.

Export control

The Solar MEMS nanoST - star tracker for nanosatellites is ITAR-free.
