Sodern Auriga SA

The compact star tracker for small satellite missions & constellations, Auriga™ star tracker is packed with the latest high-tech components and optimized for small satellite platforms of less than 500kg and for CubeSats starting from 6U.

With its standardized components, Auriga™ is specifically designed to meet cost reduction objectives while offering excellent technical performance and reliability. Its reduced volume (66 x 59 x 94 mm) and its weight of 225g make it the most compact star tracker in its category. Over 1200 Auriga™ are already in orbit with a mission success rate of 100%.
