About
The SS200 is a sun sensor developed by AAC Hyperion, specifically designed for attitude determination in pico- and nano-satellite platforms, including CubeSats. It is characterized by its compact size and low power consumption, making it suitable for small satellite missions where space and power are at a premium. Sun sensors like the SS200 are crucial components in Attitude Determination and Control Systems (ADCS), providing essential data for spacecraft orientation by detecting the sun’s position relative to the satellite. While the provided text is brief, it highlights the SS200’s core function as a small, low-power sun sensor for small satellite applications.
