Scientific paper

Star sensors and their performance in stabilized astrophysical platforms are discussed. A comparison is made between one- and two-coordinate star sensors with differing fields of view, precision, dynamic ranges for stars, and time constants. Equations for calculating the sensitivity curves for the photomultiplier and the threshold sensitivity of the sensors are given. The optical systems were tested in the open sky on Orion 2 and on Soyuz 13 and were shown to concur with expected results.
