This project can be defined by it's three phases. The goals of Phase A of this contract are to (1) Determine the required dynamic range of the combined sky and stellar image and to (2) Specify camera and optics. That was accomplished and reported in the Phase A report attached. The goals of Phase B of this contract are to 1) Produce and demonstrate algorithms for starfield background removal, 2) Produce and demonstrate star tracking and centroiding algorithms, 3) Prepare and demonstrate pointing and auto- focus algorithms, and 4) Consult with those who develop flight software on above algorithms. We are pleased to report that the above has been accomplished and delivered to NASA via our contracting contact for this project, Cheryl Alexander and are attached here. We are proud to present this final report with the expectations that all should work as planned and under budget as well: two cameras for the expected price of one.
