We have great experience in working with different types, such as solar sensors, star trackers and horizon sensors. In this article we will be looking at the last of these, the horizon sensor, which can determine with precision and reliability the attitude of a vehicle or satellite by taking the Earth’s horizon as its reference. ...
There are the SSOC and nanoSSOC sensors, that latter being a sensor with two axes that offers high precision at low cost and already there are 500 of them working in nanosatellite. Finally, Star Trackers are optical devices that can measure the positions of the stars by using photosensors or cameras. The newest developments of Solar MEMS include ...
Weighing 1,200 tons and as large as a house, the STAR detector—a Solenoid Tracker designed to search for signatures of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and part of a Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—tracks thousands of particles produced by each ion collision in the RHIC. ...
