Sun angular coordinates slot sensor

Sunny sensor is designed to control the orientation system and thermal control system of the satellite.

The operating principle of the sensor slot on the basis of photoeffect.

The sensor provides information about the angle between the normal to the surface and the direction of the sun. This is possible thanks to the fact that the beam formed by light passing through the slit diaphragm comes to the surface of the photoelectric transducer which is composed of two channels. Depending on the angle between the normal and the direction to the sun beam lights in different proportions two halves each with photoconverter. According to this attitude change of the incident light power on these channels and changes the relative ratio of their currents. The difference between these currents with a opposite turned on the two channels causes a change in the resultant voltage on phototransducer that seats an additional electronic circuitry and converted into the desired form for further processing.
