About
The highly integrated fine sun sensor uses four photodiodes to estimate the sun direction vector with a precision of less than 1 degree (1-sigma). The module has a built-in microcontroller which enables connectivity to a CSP network via CAN bus and readily integrates the fine sun sensor with an attitude determination and control system.
