A Simple Low Cost Digital Sun Sensor for Micro-satellites
A Digital Sun Sensor (DSS) has several advantages if compared to the analogue one. It achieves higher accuracy and avoids the problems with light being reflected from the Earth’s surface. The gradual degradation of the sensitivity of the elements due to radiation effects is not crucial for its proper functioning. The advances in CCD and recently in CMOS technology make possible to implement the...
متن کاملAn Autonomous micro-Digital Sun Sensor Implemented with a CMOS Image Sensor Achieving 0.004o Resolution @ 21mW
The micro-Digital Sun Sensor (μDSS) is a sun detector which senses a satellite’s instant attitude by detecting its attitude angle with respect to the sun. It is composed of a solar cell power supply, a RF communication block and an imaging chip, which is called APS+. The APS+ integrates a CMOS Active Pixel Sensor (APS) of 368×368 pixels, a 12 bit Analogue to Digital Converter (ADC), and digital...

متن کاملLow-power high-accuracy micro-digital sun sensor by means of a CMOS image sensor
A micro-digital sun sensor (μDSS) is a sun detector which senses a satellite’s instant attitude angle with respect to the sun. The core of this sensor is a system-on-chip imaging chip which is referred to as APS+. The APS+ integrates a CMOS active pixel sensor (APS) array of 368 × 368 pixels, a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter, and digital signal processing circuits. The μDSS is designed part...
متن کاملMEMS based Sun Sensor on a Chip
A prototype sun sensor has been developed. It consists of a thin slice of silicon coated with a layer of chrome and a layer of gold with hundreds of small pinholes, placed on top of an Active Pixel Sensor (APS) image detector at a distance of 500 microns. Images of the sun are formed on the APS image detector when the sun illuminates the mask. Image processing of the Sun image is performed exte...
