Family of BOKZ Star Trackers


BOKZ star trackers have been developed for autonomous determination of s/c angular position in inertial space in real time based on images of arbitrary celestial sphere segments.

The BOKZ star trackers' main elements are digital TV-camera based on CCD-array, powerful signal processor and secondary power supply.

At present 17 BOKZ star trackers are operating in space.
