Our 6u deployable solar panel is a fully qualified solar panel and compliant with the cubesat standard.
Development of a deployable 3u cubesat solar panel array.
This paper describes the design and realization of a modular deployable solar panel system for cubesats consisting of a modular hinge and spring system that can be potentially used on board single 1u double 2u triple 3u and six units 6u cubesats.
22 26 increasing the performance with respect to body mounted solar panels from 160 to 400 27.
It supports multiple integrated sensors and it is fully compliant with the cubesat standard.
Tailored solar panel configuration to match orbit mission is more important than solar cell area.
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 configuration and your choice of solar cells.
The most common failure of cubesats is negative power budget.
6u deployable solar panel with triple junction solar cells for space applications with efficiency higher than 29 5.
The holding and release mechanism was designed based on a nichrome burn wire cutting method widely used for cubesat applications.
The high power generation capabilities radiation and temperature resilience ensure smooth space operations.
Several deployable solar panel solutions for 3u cubesat have been developed with total delivered power ranging from 22 w to 56 w e g.
Our 3u solar panel x y utilizes seven highly efficient triple junction solar cells.
In the present work a deployable solar panel based on a burn wire triggering holding and release mechanism was developed for use of 6 u cubesat.
However it provides a high loading capability reliable wire cutting multiplane constraints and handling simplicity.
High resolution 1m 10km swath 3u cubesat concept.
