Astrometrics Lab

Astrometrics

The astrometrics lab is part of the Science Department where the precise measurement of the positions and motions of stars is done. In smaller vessels, this lab is usually combined with Stellar Cartography. On larger ships and stations, astrometrics is given extensive access to sensors to accomplish their duties. Studies of stars and stellar phenomena fall under the preview of astrometrics, although this is usually done in conjunction with other scientific sections. Labs typically are equipped with holographic displays that can lay out maps in any number of configurations.

Here is an example of a typical astrometrics lab.
