Establishment of a Navigation Star Database Based on Star Distribution

Abstract

In order to further improve attitude precision of star sensors, the influence of star spatial geometric distribution to attitude precision is analyzed and a method of establishing a navigation star database based on star distribution is proposed. On the basis of analyzing the current star database, Hipparcos is selected as the basic star database, while, dark-star and double-star are deleted in the star database, and then star spatial geometric distribution in every FOV (Field of View) is analyzed and compared while traversing all-sky, three stars which determine the worst attitude precision are deleted. Finally, Traversing compensationof star database is executed to ensure the uniformity of star distribution. The experimental results show that all-sky recognition rate is 100% by using the star database made by the proposed method in all celestial orbit tests, and the areas with more than 10 stars distribution r account for 97.64%. The porposed method is of good coverage, and can effectively improve the attitude accuracy.
