The Giotto star mapper flight hardware and ground processing software, and the inflight performance of the overall star mapper attitude determination system are discussed. The star mapper datates transit times of stars or planets through a Vee shaped detector slit pattern. The datated events are transmitted to ground for processing. A ground based starmapper attitude determination system performs telemetry preprocessing, star pattern identification, and attitude reconstitution. The Halley mission shows the sensor to have low measurement noise, but susceptibility to spurious events. Real time star pattern recognition and attitude determination with accuracy within 0.1 deg was maintained throughout the mission.
