From the project
Hardware for OreSat's Star Tracker
The OreSat Star Tracker is a camera that generates the orientation ("attitude') of the OreSat satellite by taking a picture of stars and comparing it to a star catalog. This is the small daughterboard that holds the image sensor and connects to the star tracker card via a flat-flexible cable (FFC).
