Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the related technology, the analog sun sensor is used, although its power consumption is low and it is easy to realize the self-power supply performance of the system, but due to the limitation of the analog photosensitive device, its accuracy is low and it is susceptible to interference
Compared with the sun sensor of the analog photosensitive device, the digital sun sensor based on the CCD (Charge-coupled Device, electrically coupled device) / CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) device calculates the imaging surface sun spot The position of the center of mass of the satellite can be changed to realize the calculation of the sun's incident angle. Although its measurement accuracy is higher and its reliability is better, and it can accurately obtain the attitude of the satellite, it cannot fully realize the autonomy and small size of the system in terms of volume, mass and power consumption. change
The main reason for the high power consumption and large size of the digital sun sensor is that the power consumption of the digital image detector is high, and peripheral functional circuits need to be configured to realize the control and data output of the image detector, which further increases the power consumption of the system. Power consumption and volume increase the difficulty of miniaturization and self-power supply of digital solar sensors
However, if a low-resolution image detector is simply used to reduce system power consumption, the measurement accuracy of the digital sun sensor will be greatly reduced.
