3 Introduction 1/2 PST purpose To allow the measurement of the Lense-Thirring effect This measurement is performed as relative measurement between the Precision Star Tracker (PST) giving angles between a guide star, fixed in inertial space and an atomic gyroscope direction, which has an extremely high short time sensitivity for rotation rates (angular rates). The PST is directed to far-distant guide stars, which are not affected by the Lense-Thirring effect. They represent a reference for the measurement and for the motions of the satellite and its control. The second measurement is performed with an Atomic Sagnac Unit (ASU), which measures the rotations of freely falling atoms relative to a series of laser beams, whose orientation is rigidly linked to the PST boresight 3 6 -th March 2003, ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands
4 Introduction 2/2 Today GA has the capability to provide Star Sensors for a wide variety of mission requirements and applications, ranging from high accuracy pointing of scientific instruments and platform, to medium FOV sensors with AAD capability The required accuracy of the HYPER PST is about 1000 times more severe than most accurate GA star trackers (ISO, XMM). This makes this study very challenging 4 6 -th March 2003, ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands
5 PST Requirements 1/4 The PST requirements, level 1 from HYP-2-05, are the following: Req.# Requirement Value (3) R1-PST-01 PST internal errors in the frequency range between 3.5*10-5 Hz and 5 Hz. R1-PST-02 External measurement errors (star, aberration, etc) in the frequency range between 3.5*10-5 Hz and 5 Hz. R1-PST-03 PST internal errors in the frequency range below 3.5*10-5 Hz R1-PST-04 External measurement errors (star, aberration, etc) in the frequency range below 3.5*10-5 Hz. R1-PST-05 Timing/Jitter < 1.2 * 10-8 rad (< 2.48 * 10-3 arcsec) < rad (<0.25 * 10-3 arcsec) < 1.2 * 10-9 rad (< 0.25 * 10-3 arcsec) < 1.2 * 10-9 rad (< 0.25 * 10-3 arcsec) 1 ms 5 6 -th March 2003, ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands

7 PST Requirements 3/4 Level 2 from HYP-2-05 R1-PST-02 R2-PST Relativistic Aberration < 1.2 * 10-9 rad (< 0.25 * 10-3 arcsec) R1-PST-03 No PST internal low frequency errors have been identified R1-PST-04 R1-PST-05 R2-PST Star Proper Motion < 10-5 rad (< 2.06 arcsec) R2-PST Star Parallax Error < 10-5 rad (< 2.06 arcsec) R2-PST Star Catalogue Error < 10-5 rad (< 2.06 arcsec) No 2nd level errors have been identified 7 6 -th March 2003, ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands
8 PST Requirements 4/4 Other Requirements PST optics to fit within the following dimension: 387x387x700 mm (boresight) PST Update rate 10 Hz PST Optical entrance 190 mm PST Guide star catalogue To have at least 1 guide star always available 8 6 -th March 2003, ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands
9 PST CCD Characteristics 1/1 To obtain typical value the following characteristics of the ATMEL TH7890 (used by GA ASTR) have been taken into account. Its main characteristics are: Full Well Capacity dark current 15 pa/cm 2 Quantum Efficiency 2*10 5 electrons (17 micron pixel size) See figure 9 6 -th March 2003, ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands
10 PST System Trade-off 1/3 To identify the baseline PST configuration the following guidelines have been followed: IFOV REDUCTION. In order to reduce the contribution of all errors that can be characterised in terms of fraction of pixels such as Centroid and NEA: this can be obtained by a longer focal length. INCREASE OF CCD FWC (Pixel size). In order to avoid CCD saturation CONSIDER LARGE TRACKING MATRIXES. In order to match large PSF produced by high F number (considered odd rows/columns matrixes from 3x3 up to 25x25 pixels) and reduce Centroid error in terms of fraction of pixel Use of GA simulator to evaluate PST performance, especially in terms of Centroid error and NEA th March 2003, ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands
11 PST System Trade-off 2/3 y' Used Centroid algorithm: C N w i1 N i1 ' i * Col Col i i z' C N w i1 N i1 ' i * Row Row i i w ' i i 1,2,...N i 9 *(1 m) w *(1 m) i N value is tied to the star spot size Increasing N means to decrease the centroid error the ratio pixel size / spot size is reduced: a smaller sampling period is obtained and then the rounding effect introduced by the physical pixel dimension is reduced Increasing N gives rise to greater sensitivity to CCD non-uniformities and noise more pixels and then more error contributions (1 for each pixel) new outer pixels having a higher weight in the barycentre computation d min 2.44* #* the centroid computation cannot be considered an average computation because the denominator of is not proportional to the total number of pixels but to the fraction of the star spot energy collected by the tracking matrix f th March 2003, ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands
12 PST System Trade-off 3/3 To identify the best N value the following simulation steps have been performed: Increase focal length to reduce the IFOV Check if the pixel size is able to contain all star signal, otherwise increase it Consider N=N 0 = min and evaluate performance in terms of Centroid error and NEA Find optimum N value: increase N value and evaluate if best performance in terms of Centroid error and of NEA degradation have been obtained, then decide if to continue increasing N or not Check if Centroid error and NEA are within the requirement Repeat all from the beginning d 2.44* #* stop when increasing focal length does not produce significant improvement in performance (too low signal to noise ratio) f th March 2003, ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands
13 PST Baseline Configuration 1/1 The identified baseline PST configuration is the following: Optical configuration: Ritchey-Chretien telescope Focal length 36 m F number 190 FOV ±25 arcsec CCD number of pixels 1024x1024 CCD pixel size 13 micron IFOV arcsec Integration time 100 ms, jitter < 1 ms magnitude range 2 V 4 Centroid algorithm Based on a 17x17 pixels tracking window th March 2003, ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands
