Collimator unit of the starry sky simulator (KBIZ) is a modified version of the Dynamic Test Equipment and has been designed for testing BOKZ-MF star trackers
With all the features of the testing equipment, KBIZ has dimensions comparable to the dimensions of BOKZ-MF, and can be installed directly on the tracker's buffle.
In addition, the tested device can be mounted on top of the simulator's structure.
A modified version of the simulator - KBIZ-1, has been created for testing BOKZ-M star tracker.
Mini-notebook Sony VAIO VGN UX-180P is used as a computing device in KBIZ. On its screen starry sky is displayed. Mini-notebook is controlled using a wireless protocol WiFi.
In 2009 two KBIZ simulators were passed to the Lavochkin Association for testing BOKZ-M tracker of the Phobos-Grunt s/c.
Two KBIZ-1 were included in the instrumentation module of the system for testing BOKZ-M trackers operation. In 2010 they were passed to JSC Military-Industrial Corporation "NPO Mashinostroyenie".
