Extremely Accurate Star Tracker

EAST is a refined, accurate, Low SWaP star tracker.

IERUS is currently developing EAST (Extremely Accurate Star Tracker) through the Navy SBIR/STTR Program.

EAST is a refined, accurate, Low SWaP star tracker. IERUS is providing design and test cases that EAST’s star tracking accuracy is 100 times current technology and is small, lightweight, and portable.

The star tracker prototype is undergoing HWIL (Hardware in the Loop) testing that emulates missile and spacecraft environments. EAST enables the precision attitude determination for space vehicles and is anticipated to result in a greater than two order of magnitude increase in accuracy to many of today’s COTS star trackers.
