Abstract: The influence of star senor’s characteristics on the accuracy of satellite angular rate estimation is emphatically studied. The relation between errors of star image centre extraction and accuracy of star vector measurement is analyzed. The accuracy of the leastsquare angular rate estimation is deduced, and then factors influence of error of star image centre extraction,the exposure time, the number of star vectors and their mutual angles on estimation accuracy. A simulation is set based on the given APS parameter and actual star distribution.

Key words: star sensor, leastsquares, angular rate estimation
