| Abstract | Draper Laboratory has developed a space avionics system for attitude determination and control of small low-power microsatellites. The goal is to determine microsatellite attitude to better than 0.1 deg with a minimum power expenditure. The revolutionary, enabling technologies that make this happen include an electron-bombarded Charge-Coupled Device (EBCCD) star camera that can detect dim stars (Magnitude=8) and a MEMS 3-axis inertial rate sensor module. The performance of the two enabling sensors (EBCCD and MEMS) depends on the early amplification and digital conversion of the optical and inertial signals, respectively, to a digital format. The amplification of the optical signal in the EBCCD star camera removes the effect of the CCD detector noise and the effect of the read-out noise. The digital conversion of the inertial sensor data at the preamplifier stage eliminates the subsequent effect of the noise and drift error terms. The immediate NASA application is microsatellites in LEO NASA science missions that often require 20 rpm spinning microsatellites. This paper describes some of the design features of the Draper Low-Power Avionics Sensor Suite (LoPASS) approach, including the digital processing of the EBCCD and MEMS data. Examples of the LoPASS sensor's digital processing include: use of the UTMC 69R000 microcontroller to implement the digital processing; measuring star centroids on a discrete CCD array with high accuracy; providing digital temperature compensation for the MEMS gyros; application of a simple Kalman filter to optimize the attitude solution; low-power operation with radhard sensors and processor. The result is a space avionics stellar-inertial subsystem that weighs approximately 1 kg and has an average power of approximately 2 W. The optical camera, inertial sensors, and the microcontroller are all radhard. The star camera is turned on every 5 min with a 3-second star sighting to update the MEMS gyro drift and achieve the 0.1-deg attitude knowledge requirement. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
