PYXIS
The PYXIS suite is a family of star tracker attitude determination products. There are currently two versions of PYXIS with varying attitude determination capabilities.
- Star tracker head imager with 10 arc-second predicted performance
- On-board star catalog with over 4300 relevant stars
- Field of View 15⁰
- Capable of detecting magnitude 6 stars
- Supports Lost-in-Space and Tracking modes
- Night sky testing complete
- Quaternion output
PYXIS is a high-accuracy microsatellite star tracker for precision attitude determination systems. The on-board catalog and lost-in-space mode provide greater than 99 percent availability with a solution time under two seconds.
