Clyde Space Solar Panels

The big dog of our cubesat range is the epic 12u.

Clyde space 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. Small in size but massive in value the aac clyde space epic 1u offers the same quality design and build flight proven performance unrivalled operational up time and excellent customer service as all our spacecraft products. The us firm on behalf of lockheed martin is developing a small launch orbital manoeuvring vehicle sl omv in reading berkshire. Moog has selected glasgow based aac clyde space to develop a new solar panel to power the vehicle in a contract worth 340 000 with the first flight mode due for delivery in 2021.

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. The panels primarily use spectrolab xtj prime solar cells but aac clyde space also has experience working with azur and solaero alternatives. Aac clyde space will develop the new solar panel to power the vehicle under a contract worth 340 000 awarded by us based moog. The sl omv is designed to carry satellites which do not have their own propulsion system to their desired orbits a capability which will be needed for the deployment of constellations.

All photon solar panels are constructed from aluminum coupled with pcb inserts and proprietary hold down release mechanisms leveraging decades of in orbit heritage. The side solar panels are designed to fit at the side plates of our cubesat structures. For missions requiring perfomance longevity and that bit more space in the trunk our epic 6u class is just the job. Aac clyde space provides rapidly manufactured spacecraft services and solutions designed with quality and innovation in mind for the small satellite market.

The purpose of these panels is to provide maximum power generation from any side of the satellite. Clyde space solar panel glasgow company aac clyde space has been chosen to develop a solar panel for moog s sl omv or small launch orbital manoeuvring vehicle.
