Sun Direction Sensor

The high sensitivity reached is based on the geometrical dimensions of the design.

Sun direction sensor.

The sun tracking sensors were experimented in operative conditions with direct exposition to the sun. Its characteristics make it a suitable tool for high accurate sun tracking and positioning systems with low power consumption and high reliability. However the main advantage of pinhole sensor is to work on two axes while the slit sensor is a sun pointing system working only in one direction. A sun sensor is a device that senses the direction to the sun.

Stepperbee are simple to use. You now have. Click on the run button and you should see motor 1 do one complete revolution in about 4 seconds. A sun sensor is a device that senses the direction to the sun to measure the position of the sun or other light sources with respect to the sensor position.

Field tests of the sun finder sensors. In addition to spacecraft sun sensors find use in ground based weather stations and sun tracking systems and aerial vehicles including balloons and uavs. Iss dx sun sensor measures the incident angle of a sun ray in both orthogonal axes and the solar radiation. The sensor inputs since we want to be able to track the sun we need some form of light detector.

Sun sensors are usually classified into three types. This can be as simple as some solar cells and shades or as complex as a steerable telescope depending on mission requirements. Sun sensors are used for attitude control solar array pointing gyro updating and fail safe recovery. An earth sensor is a device that senses the direction to earth.
