  • Pitch and roll determination

  • Earth, Sun and Moon detection

  • Albedo identification for other subsystems

  • Earth thermal imaging

  • Low power consumption

Efficiency

Low power consumption in attitude mode

Power consumption

0,09 W

NXES1 Osprey plays a pivotal role in bolstering the performance of your attitude determination system. Integrating earth sensors with sun sensors can effectively mitigate the albedo effect. Osprey can also serve as a viable alternative to traditional sun sensors, particularly when your primary goal is maintaining precise satellite orientation relative to the Earth's center.
