Low Cost Digital Sun Sensor

The Digital Sun Sensor (DSS) is an autonomous accurate sun tracker of a new generation for attitude control from low Earth orbit missions to deep space exploration (50 AU). This equipment provides 2-axis attitude information to the attitude control subsystem at a very high frame rate so that it is suitable also for application in spinning spacecraft.

DSPE and LiS join forces

SDPE supports the nationwide expansion of the Leidse instrumentmakers School (LiS) to strengthen the pipeline of precision manufacturing professionals in the Netherlands.

Structure-preserving model reduction

High-precision machines are often modelled as assemblies of flexible substructures, which preserves physical insight but leads to models that are too large for efficient dynamic analysis and control design.
