Clyde Space Deployable Solar Panels

With up to 8u of available payload volume or 12u of payload on our 16u option and the ability to accomodate large arrays of deployable solar panels this class of cubesat offers increased performance whilst still boasting the same proven avionics core.

Clyde space deployable solar panels.

The 4 panels which start off stowed along the sides of the spacecraft during launch open up in orbit to reach a length of 7 metres. Aac clyde space provides rapidly manufactured spacecraft services and solutions designed with quality and innovation in mind for the small satellite market. This short video shows one of the first tests of our doubel deployed solar panel prototype. Designed and manufactured with space qualified materials offering customized solutions for your mission.

The aac clyde space photon solar panels are designed and qualified for maximum power generation and ease of platform integration. For missions requiring perfomance longevity and that bit more space in the trunk our epic 6u class is just the job. The purpose of these panels is to provide maximum power generation from any side of the satellite. Our off the shelf solar arrays offer over a decade of flight heritage and quality assurance.

Double and triple deployable solar arrays are available for missions requiring additional capacity for their cubesat. This spacecraft which is designed for journeys to the moon and to mars is equipped with 4 deployable solar panels which form an x shape and can produce about 10 kilowatts of power. Power from a standard cubesat 3. 1u cubesat deployable solar arrays duration.

Double deployable solar panel for 2u cubesat kyungyun choi. Triple deployable 189 50 3 x single solar panel electronic components qualified for military or aerospace applications. This video shows a demonstration experiment of deploying a solar panels assembled on 2u sized cubesat. Boasting large deployable solar arrays and enhanced pointing not to mention our flight proven avionics core our epic 6u class is the ideal choice for both commercial and government missions.

Each deployable is a set of solar panels so it is a multiple choice of a single solar panel. Find out more about space as a service and browse through our satellite bits and epic spacecraft via our online store today.
