The Tianlu-1 satellite is equipped with one NST5S-A1 nano high-precision star tracker.

Nano type high-precision star trackerFollowing the development trend of the “star era” in commercial aerospace, TY-Space Technology (Beijing) Ltd. has taken the lead in achieving mass production of star sensors in China. Automated batch production has been achieved for board level screening, electronic testing, whole machine thermal cycling, thermal vacuum vibration, and field observation of stars. All test reports and results are automatically output, and the remote monitoring process is clear and more efficient. The annual output can reach 2000 sets, which can meet the batch requirements of satellite factories for high-performance, high reliability, high output, and high delivery speed of star sensor products. As of now, more than 550 units of TY-Space Technology (Beijing) Ltd. interstellar star sensor products have been successfully operated in orbit!
