The Star Scene Modeling and Generation for Hardware-in-the-loop Simulation

Abstract

The star sensor simulation system is used to test the star sensor performance on the ground, which is designed for star identification and spacecraft attitude determination of the spacecraft. The computer star scene based on the astronomical star chat is generated for hardware-in-the-loop simulation of the star sensor simulation system using OpenGL. The results of star scene generation are shown in this paper and applied in the real time star sensor simulation.
