Scientific paper

A recently developed star-tracking sensor is shown to be eminently suited for the Large Space Telescope (LST) because of its inherent stability and its ability to obtain diffraction-limited performance at the edge of the LST field of view without a complex set of field correctors to eliminate the telescope astigmatism. Using a 13th-magnitude guide star, it can supply a tracking signal to the telescope with noise equivalent to 0.002 arc-second at a 5-Hz noise equivalent bandwidth. It is also suitable for astrometric measurements to determine stellar parallaxes and proper motions. A breadboard fully demonstrates the performance capability of the sensor.
