SUN SENSOR on a CHIP Technology

Two accuracy axes. Field of view of ±60º. Accuracy better than 0.5º (3σ error). Interface of 4 analog signals. Dimensions about 27.4 x 14 x 5.9 mm, and weight of 4 g. Designed for nanosatellites (cubesats).

Sun Sensor on a Chip (SSOC) is a two-axes and low cost sun sensor for high accurate sun-tracking, pointing andattitude determination. The device measures the incident angle of sun ray in two orthogonal axes, providing ahigh sensitivity based on the geometrical dimensions of the design.nanoSSOC sun sensor is based on MEMS fabrication processes to achieve high integrated sensing structures.nanoSSOC-A60 has tiny size, low weight and low power consumption to be the perfect ADCS solution fornanosatellite platforms like Cubesats.
