Yoshikawa[4] [1] Tohoku Univ., [2] ISAS/JAXA, [3] NAOJ, [4] Univ. of Tokyo SPRINTA is an earthorbiting extreme ultraviolet spectroscopic mission being developed by ISAS/JAXA. Two mission instruments are installed in EXCEED, an EUV spectrograph and a target guide camera. The guide camera is designed to capture a part of a target planet disk whose light is reflected from the front side of a slit. Mission data processor (MDP) acquires the image every 3 seconds, calculates the centroid position of the disk on the image, and sends it to the attitude control system. While the pointing accuracy of the bus system is at most ±1 arcminutes, scientific requirement for spatial resolution is 10arcsec. The attitude control system keeps the centroid position with an accuracy of ±5 arcseconds to achieve the spatial resolution required. This pointing correction algorithm is applied to correct slow changes in the pointing direction which is mainly caused by changing thermal input from the sun and earth to the satellite. Though vibrations from reaction wheels installed in the bus system could cause random pointing error, the amplitude is estimated to be 1 arcsecond. To test the algorithm, a pinhole image was taken by the guide camera with flightmodel optical layout. The designed algorithm has been confirmed to work well and the stability of the centroid position was found to be 0.3 arcsecond. Final interface test between EXCEED and attitude control system is planned on March 2013.
