The Optical Solar Sensor (OSD) has been designed to determine the direction towards the center of the Sun's visible disc. The direction to the Sun is computed in the instrument coordinate system relative to the pixels' position on the linear CCDs illuminated with the light passed through the incoming coding mask. The OSD coding mask has three groups of slits with three slits in each group. This mask configuration provides for reliability increase as well as for the required accuracy. ...

... This task takes an OM OSW source list, with source positions in pixels, and converts to sky coordinates. These sky coordinates are then used to produce a sky coordinate image. The task requires the user to enter the name of an OSW source list and its corresponding OSW image. ... The tangent plane coordinates are then converted to sky coordinates. ... The algorithm sets up a grid of offsets in the x and y directions to be used to match up stars in the source list to those in the catalogue. ...
