Development of Star Tracker for Satellite

Much attention is paid to the development of space
branch in Kazakhstan at present. Two Earth remote sensing satellites
of Kazakhstan have been launched successfully. Many projects
related to the development of components for satellite are carried in
Kazakhstan, in particular the project related to the development of
star tracker experimental model. It is planned to use the results of this
project for development of star tracker prototype in the future. This
article describes the main stages of development of star tracker
experimental model.
