Combining proven technologies with continuous innovation, we support the development, integration and enhancement of mission-critical systems. Our expertise covers the following areas:
SOLAR MEMS provides high-performance sun sensors and star trackers for spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control Systems (ADCS) and Attitude and Orbit Control Systems (AOCS).
Our sensing technologies deliver precise attitude information for accurate spacecraft orientation, pointing and stabilization throughout mission operations.
The portfolio includes a range of sun sensors and star trackers designed to support reliable attitude determination across different spacecraft platforms and mission requirements.
Accurate attitude knowledge is essential for spacecraft pointing, stabilization and mission performance.
SOLAR MEMS provides a comprehensive portfolio of sun sensors, star trackers and horizon sensors for spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control Systems (ADCS) and Attitude and Orbit Control Systems (AOCS).
Our solutions address different mission and platform requirements, from nano and microsatellites to larger spacecraft and satellite constellations.
Modern space missions demand accurate and dependable attitude information throughout increasingly complex operations.
SOLAR MEMS sensing technologies provide spacecraft with independent measurements of key attitude references including the Sun, stars and Earth horizon, supporting robust attitude determination architectures.
The portfolio includes fine and coarse sun sensors, nano and micro star trackers and horizon sensing technologies designed for spacecraft applications.
Reliable spacecraft navigation begins with rigorous testing and validation on the ground.
SOLAR MEMS offers dedicated Ground Support Equipment (GSE) for the characterization, integration and validation of attitude sensors, including light stimulation equipment for sun sensors and star-field simulation solutions for star trackers.
The current portfolio includes DQS3 and LS3 light stimulators together with the STAR-S and STAR-D star tracker simulators.
These solutions complement the flight sensor portfolio and give satellite manufacturers and integrators tools for testing navigation equipment prior to operation in space.
No two missions have exactly the same requirements. SOLAR MEMS works closely with customers to integrate and adapt sensing technologies according to platform, mission and system requirements.
We work alongside your engineering team to understand your mission requirements and identify the most suitable sensing architecture, product configuration or customized solution.
Our solutions are developed for demanding high-reliability applications, with a strong focus on quality, repeatability and industrial manufacturing.
From early design phases through system integration and validation, SOLAR MEMS provides engineering support to facilitate the integration of our sensors and equipment into your platform.
Whether you are developing a new satellite platform, upgrading an existing ADCS architecture, validating navigation sensors or exploring new high-reliability applications, SOLAR MEMS can help identify the right sensing solution for your project.
