Abstract
The function and operation of the aspect sensor for the gamma ray imaging device (GRID) are presented. Each of the aspect sensor systems and how they work together to determine the pointing aspect of the GRID telescope are discussed. A description of the sun simulator used in laboratory testing is included, along with the methods for testing the aspect sensor in both the laboratory and in the full-scale GRID mock-up
