The STARDUST camera is necessary to perform the optical navigation (OPNAV) that is<br />

required to achieve a flyby accurate enough to assure adequate comet dust collection.<br />

This camera also provides the capability to obtain high-resolution images of the comet<br />

coma and comet nucleus during the close encounter. The imaging camera is<br />

Milstar/CASSINI-inherited with the following characteristics:<br />

CCD: 1024 x 1024 pixels, 12 bits/pixel Focal ratio: f/3.5<br />

Pixel Size: 12 µmeters<br />

Shutter speeds: 5ms - 10s, 5ms steps<br />

FOV: 3.5°<br />

Readout time: ~3 sec<br />

Pixel FOV: 60 µradians Number of Filters: 8<br />

Focal length: 200 mm<br />

Spectral range: 380 - 1100 nm<br />

The camera, shown in Figure 2.2-4, is equipped with a one-axis movable mirror which<br />

allows for image smear compensation during cometary encounter. In addition, a<br />

periscope is introduced into the optical path while imaging through the dust shields to<br />

protect the camera optics in the cometary dust environment.<br />
