It's used as a tool on star identification techniques research to ease the choice of the best technique for a specific space, application. It supports the research on star sensors utilization for three axis stabilized spacecraft attitude determination systems design. In addition, some already known and used star identification techniques were classified, implemented and generally evaluated. Some variations were introduced in the original techniques algorithms in order to study the performance improvement for specify features on each technique. There, are four possibilities for a star identification: correct identification, misidentification, ambiguous identification and no identification. Some of the tasks of the algorithms are to maximize the probability of a correct identification and to minimize the probability of a misidentification. The execution time and the required memory are also relevant performance parameters. Some of the analyzed star identification techniques require a priori attitude information availability, while others do not, using an auxiliary sky catalogue search technique. %@secondarydate 20021213 %E Winter, Othon Cabo, %E Prado, Antonio Fernando Bertachini de Almeida., %T Simulation and test environment for star identification techniques on space applications %S Advances in space dynamics 3: applications in astronautics %@format ISBN 85-17-00006-4 %@secondarytype PRE LN %K ENGENHARIA E TECNOLOGIA ESPACIAL, Star Identification Algorithm Test Software (SIATS), star sensor, algorithms, tool. %B Advances in space dynamics 3: applications in astronautics %@usergroup administrator %@group DMC-INPE-MCT-BR %C São José dos Campos %@secondarykey INPE-9524-PRE/5177 %F 10437 %2 sid.inpe.br/iris@1905/2005/08.04.01.40.28 %I INPE %P 100-111 %4 sid.inpe.br/iris@1905/2005/08.04.01.40 %D 2002 %@documentstage not transferred %A Carvalho, Gustavo B., %A Lopes, Roberto Vieira da Fonseca, %@area ETES %@holdercode {isadg {BR SPINPE} ibi 8JMKD3MGPCW/3DT298S}
