Key highlights
CSS-10 is a coarse sun sensor with a simple and robust design. This sun sensor is suitable for spacecrafts with low pointing requirement or need a robust input for sun-acquisition algorithm. Multiple sun sensors are recommended to be installed on different faces of the satellite to maximize the field of view of the sun sensor array.
