Abstract
A method for determining the position of a spacecraft in space includes receiving image data from a plurality of differently oriented optics modules, processing the received image data and computing a position, a rate of rotation and/or direction of rotation from the processed image data. The method may be carried out with the aid of at least one image processing module, a device for carrying out such a method, and a computer program for carrying out such a method on such a device.
