FINE SUN SENSOR SYSTEM
CONFIGURATION
-NO. OF MEASUREMENT AXES: 1 (each sensor).
Note: The 2 sensors can be mounted orthogonally and together function as a 2-axis sun sensor.
NO OF SENSORS: 2 (additional sensors can be paralleled as long as their FOVs do not overlap).
HERITAGE
More than 100 systems flown
PARAMETERS
-FIELD OF VIEW: 100° x 100° (each sensor).
-ACCURACY: ±0.01° to ±0.05°
-LSB SIZE: 0.001° to 0.004°
APPLICATIONS
-High accuracy attitude determination
-Payload instrument pointing
-Yaw update of gyros
