Key highlights

A high accuracy CMOS-based fine sun sensor with a wide field of view (FOV). Optimized for low power consumption, it features a pre-calibrated distortion model, integrated processor, and has immunity to albedo effects. Its housing is designed to allow for easy and robust mounting, while providing improved EMI mitigation. Additionally, to support the high-volume production of these sensors and reduce lead times, CubeSpace (CS) has novel in-house designed and built dark optics tunnels, which allows for the concurrent calibration of multiple sensors in parallel. The modular design of these tunnels makes them easily scalable based on production demands.

Testing & qualification

Our satellite subsystems’ manufacturing, assembly, integration, and testing adhere to international space standards. We design these subsystems with carefully selected components and subject them to rigorous testing under ESA’s ECSS and NASA’s GEVS standards, including radiation, vibration, shock, and thermal vacuum tests. Utilising in-house test equipment enables us to validate product performance efficiently and cost-effectively, ensuring reliable and high-quality products and services for our ambitious partners.
