Details

Wide Field-of-view sun sensor with albedo immunity.

CubeSense Sun is a high accuracy CMOS-based fine sun sensor with a wide field of view (FOV). It is optimised for low power consumption, features a pre-calibrated distortion model, integrated processor, and has immunity to albedo effects. Its housing is designed to allow for easy and robust mounting, while providing improved EMI mitigation. Additionally, to support the highvolume production of these sensors and reduce lead times, CubeSpace (CS) has novel in-house designed and built dark optics tunnels, which allows for the concurrent calibration of multiple CubeSense Sun’s. The modular design of these tunnels makes them easily scalable based on production demands.
