Validation of Active Pixel Sensors to Develop Enhanced Star Trackers Active pixel sensors hold a lot of promise for space applications in star tracking because of their effectiveness against radiation, small size, and on-chip processing. The research focus is on documenting and validating ground test equipment for these types of sensors. Through demonstrating the utility of a commercial sensor, the research will be able to work on ensuring the accuracy of ground tests. This contribution allows for future research on improving active pixel sensor performance.autDotson, Breydan LanethsWhite, DanieldgcJansen, RolfctbMechanical and Aerospace Engineering ProgramctbBarrett, The Honors Collegeenghttps://hdl.handle.net/2286/R.I.4813910 pages115242881721628716197133566bldotsonIn Copyright2018-05TextSensorsAerospaceAttitude DeterminationSatellitesImagersActive Pixels
