About
The Eagle Plus is Needronix’s highest-accuracy sun sensor, providing 0.0015° angular accuracy for demanding precision pointing missions. Sharing the same compact form factor, supply voltage (3.3V), and digital interfaces (I2C/SPI) as the standard Eagle, the Eagle Plus delivers an order-of-magnitude improvement in accuracy suitable for missions requiring tight sun-tracking, optical communication alignment, or high-precision ADCS loops. The device is well-suited for Earth observation, solar physics, and space telescope applications where consistent, accurate sun reference is critical throughout the orbit.
