About
TensorFSS-15M fine sun sensor is a satellite attitude determination system based on an advanced photodiode quadrant detector shielded by an aperture mask. This design ensures sun incidence measurements up to 0.1-degree accuracy. Equipped with an embedded error correction table — derived from thorough in-house calibration — TensorFSS-15M delivers top class performance while remaining affordable for all budgets. Consuming 5.5 mA at 16 Hz and compliant with GEVS and ECSS testing standards, TensorFSS-15M combines reliability and efficiency. Configurable embedded magnetometer functionality is available; when enabled, the unit must be installed at least 10 cm from CMGs, motors, or high-current wiring.
