A TDE funded activity, led by Airbus Defence and Space (France) together with Airbus Defence and Space (UK, Stevenage) and Jena-Optronik GmbH (Germany), investigated the possibility of using star trackers to provide a generic safe mode architecture.
The great diversity between the needs of missions in safe mode has historically led to specific dissimilar designs for safe mode architectures. Using the star tracker as the backbone for a generic design will help to foster commonality while improving performance.
