An Experimental Canopus Star Sensor.

摘要: Abstract : The technology satellite designated X4, due for launch in 1974, will carry into orbit a 3-axis attitude control system and number of sensors, one which be an experimental Canopus star sensor, enable the spacecraft to stabilised within such reference frame. report describes sensor its role stabilisation spacecraft, with respect sun Canopus. It also describe briefly modes operation performed by check parameters subsidiary experiments carried out during mission. (Author)
