ALMASpace BiAXIAL Sun Sensor
The ALMASpace BiAXIAL Sun Sensor is a low cost attitude determination device suitable both for LEO and GEO orbits. Each SunSensor group is capable to estimate the Satellite-to-Sun vector with 0.1 degrees (up to 0.01 degrees) of accuracy.
The SunSensor digital data output can be chose between ALMASpace CanBus standard protocol, I2C bus or RS232 port. The standard data output is rapresented by the three components of the Satellite-to-Sun vector and the measurement of data accuracy. The SunSensor system can be controlled by external devices in order to modify sunlight sensibility and power light threshold.
ALMASpace BiAxial SunSensor is a PSD based system,
with a wideangle optical frontend able to guarantee increased precision, light power, and field of
view.
