Description of the Earth horizon sensor is presented. The optoelectronic device is intended for usage in a complex of attitude control and stabilisation systems of the spacecraft orbiting at altitudes from 10000 km to 40000 km. The device of small dimensions and mass has high accuracy along two axes due to two parallel scanning trajectories.
