About

The Cosine Sun Sensor Redundant (COSS-R) from Bradford Space is a self-redundant sun sensor with cosine angular response, designed to provide reliable wide-field-of-view solar position information for spacecraft safe-mode and coarse attitude determination.

Built on Bradford’s heritage sun sensor design line, the COSS-R offers dual/redundant detector paths for increased mission reliability, continuing the flight-proven approach used across the company’s coarse and fine sun sensor product family since 1975.
