Scientific paper

A software system for a star imager for 'on-line' satellite attitude determination is described. The system works with a single standard commercial CCD-camera with a high aperture lens and an on-board star catalog. It is capable of both an initial coarse attitude determination without any a priori knowledge of the satellite, orientation and a high accuracy attitude determination based on prediction and averaging of several identified star constellations. In the high accuracy mode the star image aims at an accuracy better than 2 arcsec, with a processing time of less than a few seconds. The star imagar is developed for the Danish 'microsatellite' Oersted.
