The Nano Sun Sensor on a Chip (nanoSSOC-D60) is a compact, two-axis sun sensor designed for accurate sun tracking, pointing and spacecraft attitude determination.
The sensor measures the incident angle of sunlight across two orthogonal axes, providing high sensitivity through its optimized geometrical design. An integrated microcontroller processes the sensor data and directly provides sun incidence angles and additional attitude-determination information, simplifying integration with the spacecraft ADCS.
Supporting UART, I2C and SPI digital interfaces, the nanoSSOC-D60 offers flexible connectivity across a wide range of nanosatellite architectures.
With its ultra-compact size, low weight and low power consumption, the nanoSSOC-D60 provides an efficient sun-sensing solution for nanosatellites and other spacecraft where size, weight and power are critical design constraints.
