Precision Sun Sensors for Sun-Synchronous Orbit Navigation

Imagine launching a multi-million dollar satellite only to lose positional control. Did you know that 63% of small satellite failures stem from inaccurate attitude determination? Without precision sun sensing, your mission risks becoming another statistic.

Your satellite's ability to determine its orientation in space directly impacts every critical function: power generation, communication, and payload operation. Legacy sun sensor
s just can't deliver the accuracy modern missions demand. We're changing that equation.
