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 constellatio
There are thousands of satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) today and the forecast is that there will soon be many more. This is why all the major space agencies and companies dedicated to working in the aerospace sector are concerned about making responsible components that help to eliminate space waste and keep it to a minimum.
It is becoming increasingly important to develop responsible technologies that can help to preserve this environment
Solar MEMS is world-renowned because we built the smallest and most accurate solar sensors in regards to space equipment. We are specialized in Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technologies applied to high-precision solar sensors for space – and other high-tech markets – which is a rare occupation for most of the population as you might guess. But what really characterizes us is the great tea
At Solar MEMS we are fascinated by sun sensors: they are our core products and we know them inside out. Today, we would like to explain how the most common types of sun sensors available in the aerospace market work.
Sun sensors are navigation instruments that are used in space to establish the direction and position of the sun in relation with the satellite or spacecraft. In the aerospace sector they are mainly used to monitor attitude, to guide the orientation of so
The concept of New Space is trending, and it is the billionaires with their vast private investments, like Richard Branson and his Virgin Galactic or Jeff Bezos and Blue Origin, and their race to reach space that have raised its profile, but do you know what New Space means? We will tell you more in this post.
For some time, efforts to explore space have no longer been exclusively in the hands of governments and official organizations.
