Clyde Space Deployable Solar Panels

This short video shows one of the first tests of our doubel deployed solar panel prototype.

Clyde space deployable solar panels.

The big dog of our cubesat range is the epic 12u. Each deployable is a set of solar panels so it is a multiple choice of a single solar panel. 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. 24 april 2012 clyde space ltd 2012 outline 1.

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. Power from a standard cubesat 3. Designed and manufactured with space qualified materials offering customized solutions for your mission.

Our off the shelf solar arrays offer over a decade of flight heritage and quality assurance. 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. Triple deployable 189 50 3 x single solar panel electronic components qualified for military or aerospace applications. 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.

The side solar panels are designed to fit at the side plates of our cubesat structures. The purpose of these panels is to provide maximum power generation from any side of the satellite.

These are recommended depending on customer power requirements and deployed along the long edge of the spacecraft. The cubesat power challenge 2. The aac clyde space photon solar panels are designed and qualified for maximum power generation and ease of platform integration.
