Description

Mask glass for sun sensor and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a mask glass and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a mask glass for a solar sensor and a method for manufacturing the same.
Background
The solar sensor is a celestial body sensor which uses the sun as a reference azimuth and is used for measuring an included angle between a certain body axis or coordinate plane of the spacecraft and solar rays. The sun sensor is a common photoelectric attitude sensor in space flight tasks and can provide angle feedback between a specific axis and a sun vector on a space vehicle. Almost all spacecraft are required to be provided with a sun sensor so as to complete the attitude control task of each stage of the spacecraft according to the attitude feedback information provided by the sun sensor. According to different working modes, the sun sensors can be divided into the following three types: (1) "0-1" type sun sensor (also known as sun appearance sensor). It indicates with a digital signal 1 or 0 whether the sun is within the field of view of the sensor; (2) analog sun sensor. The output signal it produces is a continuous function of the star's relative solar vector orientation (solar angle); (3) digital sun sensor. It is capable of providing a discrete coded output signal whose output value is a function of the measured solar angle. The digital sun sensor is characterized in that: the method has the advantages of large field of view, high precision, long service life and high reliability, and is widely applied to various types of space vehicles.
The sun sensor mainly comprises three parts: an optical head, a sensor portion, and a signal processing portion. Wherein the optical head can adopt slit, aperture, lens, prism and other modes; the sensor part can adopt photocells, CMOS devices, code plates, gratings, photodiodes, linear array CCD, area array CCD, APS, SMART and other devices. Compared with the area array CCD, the linear array CCD has the advantages of small volume, low power consumption, low price and simple peripheral processing circuit, but the optical head is assembled with the existing mask glass, the sensor part adopts the existing digital solar sensor with the linear array CCD structure, and if the measurement of the two-axis solar angle is to be realized, a double-linear-array scheme is generally required, and the whole structure is complex.
Meanwhile, most of the existing digital solar sensors are based on the principle of small hole imaging, and the focal plane is preceded by a mask glass with a single light hole or a single slit. The sun sensor with the mask glass as a single light hole or a single slit has the advantages of simple structure, easiness in implementation and the like, but the field of view is relatively small, the measurement accuracy is adversely affected by noise, stray light and the like of an image sensor, and the positioning accuracy is low. In addition, when sunlight is obliquely incident, the existing mask glass for the sun sensor has great difference between the light spot intensity formed on the detector and the light spot intensity formed when the sunlight is vertically incident, and in order to realize accurate positioning, the light spot shape is usually observed by manually changing the exposure time, so that the positioning process is complex. Furthermore, the existing mask glass for the sun sensor and the detector protection window are easy to reflect back and forth to form stray light, and the positioning accuracy of the sun sensor is also adversely affected.
