DEVICE FOR AUTONOMOUS DETERMINATION OF NAVIGATIONAL PARAMETERS AND ORIENTATION PARAMETERS OF A MANNED SPACECRAFT Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC G01C21/24 B64G1/24 

FIELD: measuring equipment; astronautics.

SUBSTANCE: device for autonomous determination of navigation parameters and orientation parameters of a manned spacecraft comprises an optical interface block, executed in the form of a prism block, allowing to observe simultaneously two disjoint parts of the starry sky, one with navigational stars, and the other with the horizon of a planet. Behind the output window of the prism block there is a lens for forming an image on the matrix photodetector associated with the navigation parameters and orientation parameters determination unit. To protect against outage caused by bright horizon of the planet, a colour-filter is installed.

EFFECT: technical result consists in increasing the ergonomic characteristics of the device for autonomous determination of navigational parameters and parameters of the orientation of a manned spacecraft.
