The evaluation of charge transfer device (CTD) technology and the development of a conceptual design for a CTD-based spacecraft stellar sensor / authors: Allan B. Hollinger, Norman T. O'Neill, Dipak Roy...: Co24-3/1-83-015E-PDF

"This report summarizes the methodology and design options involved in developing a stellar sensor based on a charge transfer device. Astronomical and orbital considerations affect the choice of field of view, the orientation of cameras as well as the computational algorithms. A system concept is presented and the characteristics of various charge transfer devices are reviewed"--Introduction, page 1.
