abstract = "For many spacecraft to accomplish their mission goals there is a
need to have an accurate control of their spatial orientation
(attitude), so that instruments aboard the spacecraft, such as
remote sensing cameras, telescopes, and other scientific payload
be correctly pointed to their targets. For that purpose, many
spacecraft employ sophisticated attitude control systems, fed by a
variety of attitude sensors: sun sensors, horizon sensors,
gyroscopes, star trackers, etc. Among the attitude sensors capable
of providing an absolute attitude measurement, star trackers are
considered the most accurate. This work presents an overview of
the test and calibration infrastructure built for an autonomous
star tracker (AST) being developed by the Electro-Optics group of
INPE, result of an effort to increase the competence of the
country in attitude control systems.",
