Auriga™
The compact star tracker for small satellites constellations
Auriga™ star tracker is is packed with the latest high-tech components and is optimized for the small satellite markets of less than 500kg and for New Space projects as of 6U.
Radiation-resistant with a thicker casing and spacial optics, Auriga™ allow a lifetime of over 15 years in geostationary orbit and 10 years in low Earth orbit (LEO 400-1,200km). With its standardized components, is
specifically designed to meet cost reduction objectives while offering excellent technical performance and reliability. Its reduced volume (66 x 59 x 94 mm) and its weight of 225g make it the most compact star tracker in its category.
Over 1,000 Auriga™ are in orbit with a mission success rate of 100%.
- The star tracker software is implemented in a specific electronic unit, supplied by Sodern
- Auriga CP is composed of an optical head which integrates image pre-processing
- The software provided by Sodern is implemented in the satellite’s on-board computer and enables three optical heads to be processed at the same time
