About this work
Engineer, Marton Sharpe, and mechanical technicians, Alexander Schaeffer and Eric Norris, install the Star Tracker to the Ocean Color Instrument (OCI) prior to integration to the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) spacecraft. The Star Tracker is a specially designed sextant to measure the angle between different celestial bodies in relation to each other or the horizon. This is important not just for navigation but for providing better images and science data.
