Research Summary

A sun sensor is a device used in spacecraft, satellites, and other aerospace applications to detect the direction of the sun relative to the spacecraft's orientation. It typically consists of a sensor assembly with one or more photodiodes or other light-sensitive elements arranged in a specific configuration to detect sunlight. Sun sensors are essential for spacecraft attitude control systems, which rely on accurate knowledge of the sun's position to orient the spacecraft and maintain its desired attitude or orientation relative to the sun. By continuously monitoring the sun's direction, sun sensors provide feedback to the spacecraft's control system, allowing it to make adjustments to the spacecraft's orientation as needed to optimize solar panel performance, minimize thermal fluctuations, and ensure proper communication with Earth. Sun sensors play a critical role in enabling spacecraft to operate efficiently and effectively in space environments.
