Abstract: Guide stars are the basis of celestial positioning. The performance of celestial positioning is not only determined by the accuracy of astronomical sensors, but also affected by the distribution of guide stars. To analyze the impact of star distribution on celestial positioning, an error model of celestial positioning is established based on the basic principle of celestial positioning. The error characteristics under the different distributions of stars are researched. In addition, the error weight k used for determining the performance of celestial positioning is presented, and the optimum star geometries are given with certain measuring accuracy. Simulation results show that the proposed error model of celestial positioning can be used to analyze the performance of celestial positioning effectively.

Key words: control science and technology, star distribution, celestial positioning, error model
