Star trackers are instruments for attitude determination and are a must for spacecrafts whereprecise attitude knowledge is needed. Star trackers take accurate images of the stars and thenperform image processing and pattern recognition in order to accurately determine the attitude.This requires high processing power, size and mass of the instrument, which are limited oncubesats.In this thesis work the sensor of a star tracker has been characterized, and calibration andimage correction procedures that require low processing capabilities have been developed. Thethesis work also includes the design of the star tracker in CAD software, with special attentionbeing payed to the baffle due to the limited size available and the importance of stray ...
