Practical Limits on Nanosatellite Telescope Pointing: The Impact of Disturbances and Photon Noise
Accurate and stable spacecraft pointing is a requirement of many astronomical observations. Pointing particularly challenges nanosatellites because of an unfavorable surface area–to-mass ratio and a proportionally large volume required for even the smallest attitude control systems. This work explor...
