Laboratory facility for verification attitude determination algorithms using starry sky pictures

Laboratory facility developed at the KIAM RAS is presentet. The core of the facility is an active-pixel camera. The facility is purposed for verification and research of the attitude determination and navigation algorithms been under development for a nanosatellite equiped with onboard APS-camera. Lay-out of the facility, APS-camera selecting, realization of starry sky imitation are considered. Algorithm for attitude determination using starry sky pictures is shown.
