What Does HS Stand For?
HS stands for Horizon Sensor
HS, or Horizon Sensor, is a critical device used in various aerospace applications to determine the orientation of a vehicle relative to the horizon. By detecting the Earth's curvature and identifying the horizon line, the HS provides essential spatial orientation data, enabling accurate navigation and attitude control for spacecraft and aircraft. Its reliable performance is vital for mission success in environments where traditional reference points are unavailable.
