Jena-Optronik
Provides closed-loop testing capabilities for the ASTRO APS star sensor, simulating the spacecraft's AOCS.
About this service
The ASTRO APS Unit Tester (UT) facilitates stand-alone testing for Star Sensors by taking over the role of the spacecraft AOCS. It powers, controls, and communicates with the ASTRO APS, receiving data from it. When combined with an Optical Sky Simulator (OSI), it offers the capability for closed loop tests of the ASTRO APS. The Unit Tester includes a power supply unit, a standard industrial PC, and a user-friendly graphical user interface, all integrated into a rugged 19-inch industrial rack suitable for laboratory or manufacturing environments.
