Silicon Star Sensor.
Abstract
The goal of the development was to design, fabricate, and test a silicon star sensor. The initial task was a systems study followed by a detailed design and fabrication. The fabricated Design Verification Model was tested in various ways. The end design is a highly versatile silicon star sensor. It is possible to modify the sensor to perform on a wide variety of missions by changing the slit width and the time constants and threshold levels in the electronics. The basic mechanical design need not be touched and, hence, requalification of the sensor is not necessary.
