4th-generation Sun sensor

Description

Sun sensor The solar sensor calculates the direction vector of the Sun’s position in a coordinate system aligned with its body. Sun position data The sun position data extracted from the solar sensor can be used for orientation in the satellite attitude determination process. Types of solar sensors Various types of solar sensors, ranging from extremely high accuracy to standard precision, with different power consumption and dimensions, have made solar sensors suitable for a wide range of space applications. As a result, they have become an indispensable component in the satellite ADCS (Attitude Determination and Control System) process.
