Designed for high-reliability missions, it supports both primary and safe-mode attitude sensing, with over 1000 units delivered and more than five years of Low Earth Orbit heritage. The datasheet presents functional, physical, and environmental specifications for AQUILA-A05 and AQUILA-H02 series models, including performance, interfaces, power, dimensions, and qualification/acceptance testing context.","G U I D E  \nAQUILA SUN SENSORS  \nThe Sun Sensor product line, known as AQUILA, provides reliable and accurate sun-angle measurements for spacecraft attitude determination and control . Designed for highreliability space applications, these sensors are suitable  \nfor both primary and safe-mode attitude sensing . With over 1000+ units delivered and an extensive in-orbit heritage  \nexceeding five years in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), the NSS Sun Sensors are baselined on multiple satellite constellations . Their robust design, ultra-compact form factor, low power consumption, and wide field of view make them a preferred choice for both commercial and institutional missions .  \nThis data sheet outlines the functional, physical, and environmental specification s of t he AQUILA series, includingthe AQUILA-A05 and AQUILA-H02 models .  \n1,000+ SUN SENSORS DELIVERED 260+ UNITS IN ORBIT OPERATIONAL SINCE 2014  \nUTILIZED ON 5+ CONSTELLATIONS 5 YEARS OF LIFE IN-ORBIT  \nThe Aquila is TRL 9 with extensive in-orbit heritage . The Aquila Sun Sensor has demonstrated in orbit life times of > 5 years in LEO and, due to its robust nature, has become a preferred choice for constellation primes . To date, > 200 Aquila units have been delivered globally. Currently, the NSS Sun Sensor is baselined on 5 constellations .  \n⁺ Orbit determination and maneuvering  \n⁺ Precise time stamping and synchronization  \nFUNCTIONAL  \nAQUILA-A0 5 (N CSS-SA0 5 )  \nAQUILA-H 0 2  \nAQUILA-HR 0 2  \n\n| Field of view | 114° | 140° | 140° |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Update rate | >10 Hz (limited by\u003Cbr>customer OBC) | 5 Hz | 5 Hz |\n| Accuracy | \u003C 0.5 Average | \u003C 0.2 RMS | \u003C 0.2 RMS |\n| PHYSICAL | AQUILA-A0 5 (N CSS-SA0 5 ) | AQUILA-H 0 2 | AQUILA-HR 0 2 |\n| Dimensions (mm) | 33 mm × 11 mm × 6 mm | 34 mm × 40 mm × 20 mm | 34 mm × 40 mm × 20 mm |\n| Current Consumption | \u003C10mA @ 5V | Idle: \u003C3mA [15mW], boot loader mode \u003C20mA [80mW], application mode Active:\u003C40mA [200mW] | Current Consumption |\n| Mass | \u003C 5 g | \u003C 37 g | \u003C 37 g |\n| ENVIRONMENTAL | AQUILA-A0 5 (N CSS-SA0 5 ) | AQUILA-H 0 2 | AQUILA-HR 0 2 |\n| Thermal (operational) | -20 °C to +60 °C | -25 °C to +70 °C | -25 °C to +70 °C |\n| Mechanical Tests (qualification) | 1 6 gRMS (random), 20g(sine) | 34 . 93gRMS (random),\u003Cbr>26 . 25g (sine), 2000g (shock) | 34 . 93gRMS (random),\u003Cbr>26 . 25g (sine), 2000g(shock) |\n| Radiation (TID) (qualification) | \u003C 5 g | \u003C 37 g | \u003C 37 g |\n| INTERFACES | AQUILA-A0 5 (N CSS-SA0 5 ) | AQUILA-H 0 2 | AQUILA-HR 0 2 |\n| Power supply Data Connector Mechanical | 5V\u003Cbr>5 analogue channels\u003Cbr>9-way female Nano-D\u003Cbr>3 × M2 threaded Holes | +5 V to +36 V (5 V nominal) RS-485 / RS-422\u003Cbr>9-way female Micro-D\u003Cbr>4 × M2 . 5 Socket Head Cap | +5 V to +36 V (5 V nominal) RS-485 / RS-422\u003Cbr>9-way female Micro-D\u003Cbr>4 × M2 . 5 Socket Head Cap |\n| ACCEPTANCE TESTING: All FM parts undergo random vibration (10 rms) as well as thermal cycling (four-cycle ambiant pressure) to five degrees beyond operational thermal specifications .
