��� Procyon Star Tracker - Surrey Satellite Technology US LLC
Changing the economics of space
Procyon is a cost-effective star tracker for
missions with medium-accuracy attitude
determination requirements. The camera head
unit (CHU) is supplied by Terma and is based
on a low-cost-and-mass STR active pixel
sensor (LCMS APS) technology. The data
processing unit (DPU) is a miniaturized variant
of Surrey’s onboard computer, the OBC750.
The LCMS APS sensor offers increased
capability and flexibility in a cost-effective
design. The star tracker outputs attitude in
the form of a quaternion with associated
timestamp. With suitable filtering, the Procyon
Star Tracker can also be used to provide
excellent rate estimates.
Procyon is flying as a complete unit on
Surrey’s TechDemoSat-1 mission, while the
DPU will gain heritage as part of Surrey’s
Rigel-L Star Tracker on a further four missions.

The small satellite revolution started 30 years ago with Surrey Satellite Technology—the world’s premier provider of operational and
commercial satellite programs with over 40 satellites launched successfully and 240 years of on-orbit experience gained.
From its Englewood, Colorado, facilities, Surrey supplies complete in-house design, manufacture, launch, and operation of small
satellites, to include remote sensing, navigation, and communications payloads, avionics suites and subsystems, ground infrastructure,
and training and consulting services.
