Key highlights
A sun sensor is a cost-efficient dual-axis instrument for precise sun pointing & tracking and attitude measuring. It detects the incidence angle of solar rays on two orthogonal axes and features a low mass, size and power consumption, long lifecycles as well as improved performances on miniature satellites.
