Product omschrijving
The MAUS is a radiation hardened (>10Mrad) fine sun sensor especially developed for the CubeSat market. Taking advantage of the BiSon64-ET developments while keeping a focus on the special requirements for the smallest satellites, the MAUS is combining high reliability Sun sensing with a very low profile.
