Cubesat Solar Panel Hinge

Its space qualified cells are provided with extensive characterization and test reports.

Cubesat solar panel hinge. Solar panels are manufactured following the standard ecss e st 20 08c. Dhv cs 10 products are solar arrays for 1u cubesats there are available top bottom and side versions. It supports multiple integrated sensors and it is fully compliant with the cubesat standard. A 1u cubesat for example will have an area of just 10 cm x 10 cm on each face in order to accommodate a solar panel.

Our innovative design with an aluminum substrate with a flex pcb overlay for the cells allows for most mission specific. Give us the parameters most relevant to you and we will turn them into a 6u solar panel which is fully compliant with the cubesat 6u standard. The size of each solar panels is the size of a lateral cubesat surface. The panels come in 1 6u size with sun and temperature sensors and other custom options available on request.

In addition solar panels can also not be mounted on surfaces that need to accommodate other components such as planar antennas optical sensors camera lenses and access ports. Power for your needs. Our 3u solar panel x y utilizes seven highly efficient triple junction solar cells. Isis provides a range of high performance cubesat compatible solar panels.

Design of a low cost cubesat hinge july 16 2020 on july the 2 nd rick de leeuw graduated at gtm on the design of a cubesat solar panel deployment hinge. As most satellite missions are special isis offers a solar panel solution that takes into account accommodations for sensors apertures etc. Our 6u custom solar panel will be optimized to meet your requirements. The solar cells are azur space 3g30c qualified solar cells for space applications with 30 efficiency using triple junction technology.

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. Structures power modules eps communication modules onboard computer and protoboard antennas solar panels and platforms. The high power generation capabilities radiation and temperature resilience ensure smooth space operations. Modular solution multiple pc104 form factor board ideal for 3u platforms and up communication over two independent i2c or uart interfaces spi optional fram based mcus for improved radiation tolerance hardware over current protection and hardware based maximum power point tracking hardware supervisor including watchdog solar panel interface utilizes gan fets output load channels.

Combining an injection moulded cover hinge and a tape spring hinge tsh he created a low cost hinge that thanks to its simple and inventive design allows for easy assembly and mounting.
