The Sun Sensor on a Chip (SSOC) uses MEMS-based technology to deliver highly integrated sensing structures for high-accuracy sun tracking, positioning and spacecraft attitude determination.
The SSOC-A60 measures the incident angle of sunlight across two orthogonal axes, providing high sensitivity through its optimized geometrical design.
Each sensor is individually calibrated and characterized, with a dedicated look-up table provided to support accurate integration and operation. A protective metal shield and cover glass safeguard the optical sensing area, helping to minimize ageing and maintain performance in high-radiation environments.
Designed for compact and demanding space applications, SSOC technology combines precision, integration and radiation resilience in a lightweight sun-sensing solution.
