500 nanoSSOC-D60 are present in various nanosatellites constellations

Its Tiny size, low weight and low power consumption make NanoSSOC sun sensor the best ADCS solution for nanosatellite platforms like Cubesats. NanoSSOC sun sensor is based on MEMS fabrication processes to achieve high integrated sensing structures. It provides high sensitivity thanks to the geometrical dimensions of the design, allowing to measure the incident angle of sun ray in two orthogonal axes.

This Solar MEMS product is already implemented in various nanosatellites constellations in just two years, ¡with 500 units sold!

“During last year nanoSSOC-D60 sales represented approximately 20% of the company’s turnover.” Tamara Guerrero, Business Development Manager at Solar MEMS

In order to obtain useful information for attitude determination and the sunlight incident angles, NanoSSOC-D60 provides it via UART, I2C or SPI protocol directly from a microcontroller.

“The main argument is the impressive flight heritage, with several millions of hours accumulated in orbit since 2016.” José Miguel Moreno, Solar MEMS Manager.
