[0002] The star sensor is a core component of the satellite attitude control system, and its measurement accuracy directly affects the satellite's attitude determination accuracy. Before being installed on the satellite, the relationship between the star sensor's optical reference and its mechanical mounting reference, i.e., the mounting reference matrix, must be accurately measured. Traditional measurement methods typically employ two high-precision theodolites for multi-station intersection measurements. While this method offers high accuracy, it suffers from drawbacks such as system complexity, high equipment cost, large footprint, and cumbersome operation procedures. Summary of the Invention

The star simulator is used as the source to establish a geographic coordinate system. Through the sequential calibration of the theodolite, standard mirror, and spectroscope, the measurement benchmark is transferred to the position and attitude of the spectroscope, thus establishing the measurement benchmark coordinate system.

The positions of the beam splitter and the three-axis turntable I are kept as the reference positions for the calibration phase. The star sensor is installed on the three-axis turntable II and aligned with the star simulator. The theodolite is aligned with both the star sensor and the beam splitter. This allows the theodolite to measure the spatial orientation of the Y-plane of the star sensor prism and the beam splitter to indirectly measure the spatial orientation of the Z-plane of the star sensor.

Adjust the attitude of the standard mirror so that the crosshairs reflected by the standard mirror from the theodolite coincide with the crosshairs of the eyepiece. Then move the theodolite to a position relative to the optical axis of the star sensor of the standard mirror and aim at the standard mirror to adjust its attitude.
[0011] Then, the beam splitter placed on the three-axis turntable I is positioned between the theodolite and the standard mirror to adjust the beam splitter's attitude and complete the benchmark calibration.
