The solar sensor serves to orient missions in space by providing a space vehicle control system with an electrical signal that is proportional to the angle of incidence between the sun and a reference axis on the space vehicle to be oriented. The control system amplifies this signal to obtain the magnitude and sense of reaction torque required for vehicle alignment with respect to the solar disk. The system involves the use of a flat base and a plurality of planar photocells.
