Earth Horizon Sensor is a compact, low power attitude determination sensor designed to support reliable Earth referenced orientation for CubeSat and MicroSat missions.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Reliable Earth Reference for Smarter SmallSat Attitude Control
The sensor processes the Earth’s horizon image to calculate the vector toward Earth’s center, using infrared based sensing to operate reliably in both sunlight and eclipse for stable Earth-pointing missions.
