Cubesat Solar Panel Protection
Good power management is also vital to maximise efficiency and safety on board.
Cubesat solar panel protection. Tailored solar panel configuration to match orbit mission is more important than solar cell area. The modern system has on board monitoring and logging features. With standard size of solar cell strings it is not possible to construct a reliable solar panel for cubesat with redundant strings interconnection. Our 3u solar panel x y utilizes seven highly efficient triple junction solar cells.
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. Cubesat deployalbe solar panels power system nanospacecraft solar panel deployment testing modular design abstract one of the main cubesat bus limitations is the available on board power. The solar cells are azur space 3g30c qualified solar cells for space applications with 30 efficiency using triple junction technology. It supports multiple integrated sensors and it is fully compliant with the cubesat standard.
Solar panels are manufactured following the standard ecss e st 20 08c. Its space qualified cells are provided with extensive characterization and test reports. The high power generation capabilities radiation and temperature resilience of the solar panel ensure smooth space operations. High resolution 1m 10km swath 3u cubesat concept.
Dhv cs 10 products are solar arrays for 1u cubesats there are available top bottom and side versions. Dhv technology has signed a contract with nasa goddard space flight center to provide the solar panels of the gtosat mission geostationary transfer orbit satellite. Our 1u solar panel x y utilizes two highly efficient triple junction solar cells. The eps is compatible with different size and configuration of solar panels.
Nanoavionics cubesat electrical power system eps is highly standardized power conditioning and distribution unit designed to meet wide variety of customer requirements. The most common failure of cubesats is negative power budget. Flight heritage since 2013. The high power generation capabilities radiation and temperature resilience ensure smooth space operations.
The x y solar panel supports multiple integrated sensors and is fully compliant with the cubesat standard. The maximum power obtained using body mounted solar panels and advanced triple junction solar cells on a triple unit cubesat is typically less than 10 w.
