Nano Sun Sensor on a Chip (nanoSSOC) is a two-axis low cost sun sensor for high accurate sun-tracking and attitude determination. This device measures the incident angle of a sun ray in both azimuth and elevation, providing an accurate angle reading. nanoSSOC sun sensor is based on MEMS fabrication processes to achieve high integrated sensing structures.
Every sensor is individually characterized and calibrated. The use of materials as aluminum 6082 minimizes the ageing of the device under high energy particle radiation.
