Scientific paper

Spacecraft that require high-accuracy pointing use stars to establish and maintain an attitude reference. These systems require accurate data for the brightest stars in the sky. In the past, astronomers routinely observed the bright stars, easily outdistancing the requirements of the spacecraft navigation community. Today, however, a demand for increasingly accurate systems is paired with diminishing scientific interest in the bright stars used for engineering applications.
