Description
The MAUS is a fine sun sensor especially developed for the CubeSat and small satellites market, taking advantage of the BiSon64-ET development experiences while keeping an focus on the special requirements for small satellites. The sensor should be usually used for Low Earth Orbit missions.
The MAUS fulfills the wishes for a small but reliable sun sensor that can be easily accommodated on board of a CubeSat. Although the MAUS does not have the highest functionality of all CubeSat sun sensors, the guaranteed accuracy, high radiation tolerance and Lens R&D reputation for quality have been important for this development.
