Abstract

The opportunity given with cubesats opens new scenarios in the field of astronomy, due to (among the other advantages) the relatively low budget and the replicability features of such devices. This push the research efforts towards the miniaturization and compactness of the traditional optical devices and layouts. The possibility of having small telescopes in operation without the atmospheric disturbances allows newer possibilities for astronomical targets. In this paper, we will describe the coupling of newer astrometric techniques with specific optical layout in order to reach the maximum precision and reliability. We propose and describe a simple acquisition system with a multiple field of view (i.e. 4), to verify and prove the robustness of the astrometric techniques. In addition we study the use of a disperser element, in order to have fast and multiple spectra of the selected target.
