About
The Pyxis Space Earth Horizon Sensor provides Earth-pointing attitude determination with 1° accuracy using both visible (VIS) and infrared (IR) observation channels. Its compact 28 × 28 × 53 mm body and 32 g mass allow integration into even the most volume-constrained CubeSat designs. It shares the CAN 2.0B bus interface common across the Pyxis ADCS product family, simplifying harness design.
