nanoSSOC A60 - Sun Sensor
SOLAR MEMS TECHNOLOGIES
Nano Sun Sensor on a Chip (nanoSSOC) is a two-axes and low cost sun sensor for high accurate sun-tracking, pointing and attitude determination. The device measures the incident angle of sun ray in two orthogonal axes, providing a high sensitivity based on the geometrical dimensions of the design.
NanoSSOC-D60 includes a microcontroller that directly provides the sun light incident angles and other information useful for attitude determination, via UART, I2C or SPI protocol. nanoSSOC-D60 has tiny size, low weight and low power consumption to be the perfect ADCS sensing solution for nanosatellite platforms.
