Built to deliver precise situational awareness in space, including satellite attitude and rate determination, \u00b5STAR-250\u2019s reliability and radiation tolerance makes it ideal for long-duration missions in LEO, MEO, GEO, and cislunar orbits. This star tracker has accumulated thousands of hours of space flight heritage on a classified program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are pleased to have been selected by Millennium Space Systems to support its upcoming mission,\u201d said <strong>Frank Morgan<\/strong>, Chief Operating Officer, of Voyager Space. \u201cOur \u00b5STAR-250 Star Trackers represent a significant leap in satellite navigation and performance in the ever-evolving world of space exploration. We look forward to providing Millennium with the tools to strengthen their constellations\u2019 precision, reliability, and adaptability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00b5STAR-250 can be calibrated on-orbit in real-time. Its space-flight-proven software and algorithms utilize the Pyramid Code for star identification and deliver real-time quaternion output. \u00b5STAR-250 can also provide raw image data and be configured for Space Domain Awareness. American-sourced and manufactured in San Diego, Calif., \u00b5STAR-250 is fully compliant with National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) 2021 domestic sourcing specifications.<\/p>\n<p>Voyager Space\u2019s full line of electro-optic subsystems includes SpaceCam 5MP and SpaceCam 9MP, Coarse, and Medium Sun Sensors, in addition to Star Trackers such as the \u00b5STAR-250.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Voyager Space, one of the global leaders in space exploration, announced it has been awarded a contract by Millennium Space Systems, a Boeing Company, to build 13 Flight Model Star Trackers (\u00b5STAR-250) and two Engineering Models.
