About
The MAUS is a pioneering radiation-hardened analogue fine Sunsensor developed for CubeSat applications. It utilizes similar diodes and membranes as the BiSon sensor, granting it exceptional radiation tolerance. This characteristic makes the MAUS suitable for deployment in missions extending beyond low Earth orbit, where radiation levels are significantly higher. The sensor incorporates a standard nano-D connector, ensuring a highly reliable yet compact electrical interface. This design choice contributes to its remarkably low profile, with a height of less than 5mm, making it ideal for space-constrained CubeSat platforms.
