Sun Sensor is a two orthogonal axes digital sun sensor. It generates the directional cosines of the angles of the direction to the sun, thus, it doesn’t require any calibration. Besides, the sun sensor’s size and weight are very small, as is his power consumption which is ultra-low.
Features:
- mid-size satellites design in light and small package;
- ultra-low power CAN device;
- built-in DC converter for constant consumption.
