Clyde Space

3U CubeSat 2-Sided Double Deployed Solar Panel

• Consists of FOUR full solar panel faces (30W of solar cells)
• Bothdeployed solar panels have 7 large area solar cells front and back(other configurations of solar cell placement available. Please contact uswith your requirements.)
• Angle of deployment: 90 degree and 135 degree deployment options available.
• Body mounted panel is the mechanical interface for the deployed panel (i.e. mount the body panel to your unmodified CubeSat structure)
• Active, dual redundant thermal knife activiated hold down mechanism
• Space qualified as part of the UKube-1 mission
• All panels manufactured using high quality PCB Substrate with space-grade Kapton coverlay
• Each panel has14 large area triple junction cells with 28.3% efficiency minimum (16 cell version available on request)
• Temperature sensor, reverse bias protection diodes and harness connector
• Compatible with CubeSat Kit structure (ISIS [and other] structure version available on request)
• Stowed profile fits within 6.5mm P-POD envelope.
• 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.
• Also available with integrated magnetorquers (please contact us to request more info - magnetorquer values as per our 3U side panels)
• 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
• Video of Prototype test.
