Realization of a Faster, Cheaper, Better Star Tracker for the New MillenniumThe first Danish satellite, إrsted, will be launched in August of 1997. The scientific objective of إrsted is to perform a precision mapping of the Earth's magnetic field. Attitude data for the payload and the satellite are provided by the Advanced Stellar Compass (ASC) star tracker. The ASC consists of a CCD star camera and a capable microprocessor which operates by comparing the star image frames taken by the camera to its internal star catalogs.
