The D-Sense from D-Orbit is a Multi-Sensor ADCS Module that can track the position of the sun, the earth’s horizon, the magnetic field, and the angular rate of the spacecraft. It has a mass of 300 gms and draws 300 mW in standard operating mode and 500 mW in camera mode. This ADCS supports the CAN bus interface and provides complete attitude determination coverage. It consists of photodiodes for sun sensing, thermopiles for earth horizon sensing, a magnetometer for earth magnetic field sensing, a gyroscope for angular rate sensing, and a camera for photos, videos, and star tracking. The D-Sense is available in a module that measures 70 x 70 x 55 mm and is ideal for satellite constellations.
