This work analyses the formation factors and elimination methods for both the star sensor’s error and the angles error between the star sensor’s optical axis and the earth observation camera’s optical axis. Based on that, to improve the low attitude stability and long calibration time necessary of current satellite cameras, a method is then proposed for real-time on-orbit calibration of the angles between star sensor’s optical axis and the earth observation camera’s optical axis based on the principle of auto-collimation.

This seismometer is a Very Broad Band seismometer to measure the Martian seismic activity. Sodern provides an inverted mechanical pendulum, called VBB pendulum, the movement of which being detected thanks to very accurate capacitive sensors. Three similar VBB axes are incorporated in the same package; the package is a sphere under vacuum to allow the best quality factor of the pendulum. Severe constraints of mass as far as hard environmental conditions have required a very thorough optimisation of the design. Breadboards have been manufactured and tested. They allow demonstrating the capability of the sphere to be embarked with the SEIS instrument onboard the NASA/JPL INSIGHT mission. This paper describes the architecture of the VBB and the Sphere and gives the performances as measured on ground and expected on Mars.
