Cubesat Deployable Solar Panels

An innovative deployable solar panel system for cubesats 1.

Cubesat deployable solar panels.

A prototype of the system has been realized for a 3u cubesat consisting of two deployable solar panel systems made of three solar panels each for a total of six deployed solar panels. The exa dsa 1a titanium deployable solar array for 1u is the entry level product of a family of deployable solar arrays based on artificial muscles for cubesats in the range of 1u to 6u. The geometrical configuration has been selected based on orbit and attitude stabilization. Isis cubesat solar panels complete set.

Deployed panels as an off the shelf product help increase on board power at an affordable cost. The arrays are composed by 5 panels 3 on top 2 on bottom that attached to the cubesat structure just as another solar panel and once in orbit deploys to full extension includes deploy and release contact sensors and custom options are available on requests like sun and temperature sensors 7 panel. Different configurations to suit varying mission requirements. Single and double deployed panels available for all cubesat sizes.

Isis integration jig set for a 1 unit cubesat. Isis integration jig set for 2u 3u cubesats. Eyassat single axis air bearing for attitude control studies. Exa deployable solar panels dsa 1a.

Panel integration is the same as for a body mounted panel. The development of small satellites characterized by the involvement of small personnel teams very. Isis cubesat solar panels.
