Abstract
The advent of charge transfer devices (CTD's) stimulated the development of a new generation of star sensors. The mosaic focal plane is a major componenet of the sensor. This overview describes beneficial characteristics of CTD's for star sensor applications and several mosaic focal plane configurations.
