Abstract: Measurement error of a star sensor is restricted by varying ambient temperature and solar irradiance.Effect of barrel’s thermal deformation on measurement error of a star sensor is analysed in this paper.The tilting and shifting of the lens caused by barrel’s thermal deformation are calculated for a typical optical system of star sensor.Displacement of star image point and its energy distribution are analyzed.When barrel’s temperatures change uniformly 20℃,measurement errors of the star sensor are about 0.6″ and 0.9″ for cylindrical and conical barrel respectively.When temperature differences of barrel are 30℃,measurement errors are about 2.2″ and 3.3″ for cylindrical and conical barrel respectively.Results show that cylindrical barrel’s thermal stabilization is better than conical barrel’s.

Key words: star sensor, measurement error, thermal-optical analysis, barrel
