Coarse Sun Sensor (CSS) Pyramid

OVERVIEW

Over 1,000 Adcole (now Redwire Space) Analog Sun Sensors have been deployed on hundreds of spacecraft since the 1960s. Analog Coarse Sun Sensors (CSS) provide a very large field of view with less accuracy than Redwire’s Digital Sun Sensors.

Redwire Space is able to design baffles to accommodate nearly any unique Field of View (FOV) requirements your mission requires.

APPLICATIONS

Solar-Array Pointing
Sun Acquisition
Fail-Safe Recovery
