VANTAGE™

Enable space situational awareness missions with Voyager’s VantageCam, offering low read-noise and high dynamic-range, allowing spacecraft to more accurately detect and identify dim objects at long distances. Standard and custom lenses are available, as well as an option for CFE telescope integration.

Depending on volume and configuration, the price ranges from $104K to $130K per unit. Negotiated discounts may apply.

• Mission ready: Accurate detection of long-distance dim objects
• Observe and track: High sensitivity for long-range detection
• Customizable: Configurable for space situational awareness, Earth imaging and lunar missions. Custom lens designs and screened EEE part options are available
• Heritage: GEO

With the addition of a lens, alignment cube and software, VantageCam becomes VantageStar, a high-performance, precision-guidance star tracker. These radiation-tolerant, American-made star trackers are durable and self-contained, providing high accuracy and a very low read-noise when determining orientation. VantageStar is fully compliant with National Defense Authorization ACT (NDAA) 2021 domestic-sourcing specifications.

Depending on volume and configuration, the price ranges from $128K to $250K per unit. Negotiated discounts may apply.

Mission examples: EO/IR (e.g., missile warning and tracking), Earth observation, etc.

• Real-time, high-performance star tracking data: For attitude and rate determination, quaternion output and on-orbit calibration
• Customizable: Configurable for LEO, MEO, GEO and beyond

With decades of spaceflight heritage, these American-sourced and manufactured sun sensors support attitude determination during launch vehicle separation, initiative attitude acquisition, and during emergencies and off-nominal modes. VantageSun meets mission needs as a low-cost, low-mass sensor that draws no power.

Depending on volume and type, the price ranges from $3,500 to $7,500 per unit, with a minimum unit purchase of five. Negotiated discounts may apply.

Voyager offers two types of sun sensors:
