More Information
Summary:An optical star tracker system including a single common aperture, a single light-redirecting element, a single imaging sensor and an image processor, wherein the light-redirecting element receives incident light rays from a plurality of objects and forms images of the objects distorted at angles indicative of the multiple directions of the incident light rays from the objects depending on an orientation at which the incident light rays originated from the objects.
