The global market for Sun Sensor was valued at US$ 33.5 million in the year 2024 and is projected to reach a revised size of US$ 70.5 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 11.4% during the forecast period.
A sun sensor is a navigational instrument used by spacecraft to detect the position of the sun. Sun sensors are used for attitude control, solar array pointing, gyro updating, and fail-safe recovery. There are various types of sun sensors, which differ in their technology and performance characteristics. Sun presence sensors provide a binary output, indicating when the sun is within the sensor"s field of view. Analog and digital sun sensors, in contrast, indicate the angle of the sun by continuous and discrete signal outputs, respectively. This report studies the sun sensor in space market.
