Finding the sun: developing a Sun Sensor for use on a 1U CubeSat satellite

PDF icon Final proposal

Rhodes college is getting closer to space. RHOK-SAT, a 1U CubeSat satellite, is about 18 months from launch. The project is currently focused on payload integration. A critical aspect of our payload is creating a sun sensor to help track the angle of the sun relative to the satellite.
