The 3U CubeSat "ASTERISC" is a cosmic dust observation satellite developed by Chiba Institute of Technology and Tohoku University, and is planned to be launched in October 2021. ASTERISC is equipped with a new type of large-area dust sensor that uses piezoelectric elements to detect elastic waves induced by micron-sized cosmic dust or small space debris colliding with the polyimide film. Since the dust sensor measures only the magnitude of the momentum of the colliding particles, a system to measure and control the direction of the sensor membrane is required to identify the direction of particle flight. By using the classical spin stabilization method, which is rarely used in CubeSats, this satellite aims to maintain the sensor membrane direction toward the Sun constantly with low power consumption. In this paper, we propose the use of spin stabilization control law with magnetic torquers, a method for deriving the target direction vector, and the design of a cosine coarse sun sensor that is aimed to achieve a field of view about twice as large as the conventional method.
