A lost-in-space star identification algorithm based on regularized pattern recognition

Ozyurt, Erdem Onur; Aslan, Alim Rustem

Accuracy in spacecraft attitude determination has been improved continuously in parallel to scientific payloads requiring higher accuracy. Star trackers aim to maintain attitude determination by matching observations to the reference stars. They provide very high accuracy at any point in space at cost of higher computational complexity.
