Scientific paper

The primary function of the LST fine guidance sensor is the detection of telescope mispointing. This is accomplished by measuring the positions of guide-star images in the telescope focal plane and converting these measurements to electrical error signals, which are then used by the Support System Module to correct pointing direction. The fine guidance sensor employs a high-gain, white-light interferometer, which detects the wavefront tilt caused by telescope mispointing, and an image-dissector star tracker, which is used for guide-star acquisition and coarse tracking. The LST pointing system simulation is a digital computer simulation program for testing the performance of the fine guidance sensor.
