A small Earth (horizon) sensor that can be used for attitude control of ultra-small satellites, CubeSats, and other small satellites.
This is a two-axis small Earth (horizon) sensor that can be used for attitude control of ultra-small satellites (CubeSats, Nano-Sats, etc.) and small satellites.
Earth Sensor: Improved accuracy of Earth detection and attitude determination using quadruple thermopile sensor technology.
Solar MEMS' nano and micro satellite Earth Sensor (HSNS) is at the forefront of satellite navigation technology. Leveraging the power of a quad thermopile sensor, the HSNS provides unparalleled accuracy in Earth detection and nadir vector determination. This innovative device is the culmination of Solar MEMS' extensive experience in attitude sensors and deep research in IR sensing technology. Each HSNS unit undergoes rigorous testing and characterization to ensure reliability and performance. Equipped with an integrated microcontroller, the HSNS offers seamless integration via UART or I2C protocols, providing versatility for various satellite applications. Key features include: - Operating temperature range from -30°C to 70°C - Qualification data and flight heritage - FOV of ±2.5º for each IR eye, total FOV of ±64º - High precision deviation of less than 1 degree - Durable aluminum housing - 3-year design life The advanced features and robust design of the HSNS make it an essential component for nano and micro satellites seeking reliable Earth observation and attitude control.
