In this paper performance of a constructed analog sun sensor by authors presented I ICEE2006, and its mechanical structure will be modelled by geometric calculation. The validation of calculations will be investigated by simulatiott. Mechanical design is such that the sensorh as 360" FOV about the X and Y axis and 180" FOV about the Z axis. Error analysis method used in this paper is based on derived nodel and sltowst hatp recisiono f the sensoirs acceptable.
