2U Side Solar Panel w/MTQ

Part number: SP-L-S2U-0031-CS-MGT
Cost:£2,600.00

2U CubeSat Front High-Efficiency Solar Panel with Magnetorquer

  • High quality PCB Substrate with space-grade Kapton coverlay
  • 4 large area triple junction cells with 28.3% efficiency minimum (5 cell version available on request for panels with a smaller fee-through aperture; note, image shows a side panel, which does not have a cut-out for wire feed-throughs)
  • Temperature sensor, reverse bias protection diodes and harness connector
  • Compatible with CubeSatKit structure (ISIS [and other]structure version available on request)
  • Manufactured to Clyde Space qualified, flight heritage processes using space grade materials
  • Other sensors available for inclusion on solar panel (i.e. coarse and fine sunsensors). Magnetometers and/or rate sensors can be included, but we advise that these are placed in a more thermally benign location due to the device temperature coefficients.
  • Magnetorquer contained on internal layers of PCB substrate (magnetic moment depends on PCB thickness, no. turns, current, etc.)
  • All manufacturing at Clyde Space is to our ISO9001:2008 accredited processes by our ESA trained assembly staff (see our Quality Manual)
  • Solar_Panel_Datasheet
  • CubeSat 2U Side Solar Panel 3D Model with 4 Spectrolab UTJ cells (1.6mm thick substrate)
