Summary
The CSS-10, a coarse sun sensor tailored for spacecraft with minimal pointing demands or those requiring a robust input for sun acquisition algorithms, boasts a simple and durable design. It generates analog signals directly correlated to solar irradiance. The user needs to configure the onboard computer (OBC) or the Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) computer's analog-to-digital converter to retrieve data from each CSS-10 sensor.
