1. MEMS SENSOR FOR SPACE APPLICATIONS
... play an important role in the design of the sun sensor. One of the more popular sun sensor works by measuring the sun's angle in two orthogonal axes. It will measure the sun's angle in both azimuth and elevation to get its position. The sun sensor is an important part of any satellite as it is used to determine the attitude ... with light being reflected from the Earth's surface. Common digital sun sensors for spinning satellite consist of 2 parts i.e. the command unit and the measurement unit. The command unit basically detects the presence of the sun. The sun presence in the field of v...
