A.S.T.R.A

Autonomous Sky Tracking and Recon Apparatus

University of Arizona Senior Design Project

Project Overview

A.S.T.R.A. (Autonomous Sky Tracking and Recon Apparatus) is an advanced telescope system designed to autonomously track celestial objects and perform reconnaissance operations. This project represents a comprehensive solution for automated astronomical observation, combining precision optics, intelligent tracking algorithms, and real-time data acquisition.

This web application provides optical calculation tools to support the design and operation of the A.S.T.R.A. system, enabling precise calculations for telescope parameters including Airy disk diameter, field of view, and other critical optical measurements.
