Star Tracker

Market Application

The orientation of satellites is determined by observing the stars. Star trackers equipped with a Tiny Telescope can zoom in further and collect more light, without the need to increase the size of the camera. This means that the performance accuracy is enhanced several times. The single optical element in the Tiny Telescope is extremely robust and can cope with large temperature variations in space.

Unlocking New Possibilities in Star Trackers

Tiny Telescope’s technology is designed to enhance the performance of available Star Trackers. Our compact, lightweight telescopes provide an exceptional long focal distance, which makes it possible to find the position of stars more accurate than other models. This application is particularly valuable for satellites that require precision pointing, such as for astronomical science, earth observation with large magnification and laser satellite communication.

Size & Weight

Tiny Telescope is compact and has a lightweight design, making it ideal for small satellites and space-constrained applications. Easy to integrate without adding significant mass.

Other Optical Systems with similar performance are generally larger and often heavier, limiting their use in smaller satellite platforms.

Precision & Accuracy

Tiny Telescope has a focal length that is much longer than alternative systems of similar size. This results in a larger magnification of stars and an increased position accuracy.

Other Optical Systems consist of multiple lenses are sensitive to temperature variations and ghost reflections. Traditional lens based cameras have inherently lower limits for the achievable magnification and accuracy.

Integration & Scalability

Tiny Telescope is a compact solution, ideal for small satellites and space-constrained applications. Easy to integrate on a satellite of any size.

Other Optical Systems are often larger and heavier, limiting their use in smaller satellite platforms.

Robustness & Durability

Tiny Telescope consists of only a single athermal optical component. It has very few failure mechanisms, thus ensuring a very robust solution.

Other Optical Systems use a camera with multiple lenses can fail in many ways. Misalignment of any lens will compromise the performance, and this can happen due to vibrations or temperature variations.

Cost & Efficiency

Tiny Telescope is a single optical component, providing a small, accurate and robust solution that needs little testing, making it cost effective.

Other Optical Systems are larger and consist of multiple optical components,. These have more failure modes, require additional testing and are thus less cost effective.
