Cubesat Solar Panel Hinge
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.
Cubesat solar panel hinge. Browse through our cubesat products. 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. Structures power modules eps communication modules onboard computer and protoboard antennas solar panels and platforms. Solar panels are manufactured following the standard ecss e st 20 08c.
Isis offers customized cubesat solar panels and arrays for standardized prices. Our 3u solar panel x y utilizes seven highly efficient triple junction solar cells. The high power generation capabilities radiation and temperature resilience ensure smooth space operations. Power for your needs.
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. Our 6u custom solar panel will be optimized to meet your requirements. It supports multiple integrated sensors and it is fully compliant with the cubesat standard. As most satellite missions are special isis offers a solar panel solution that takes into account accommodations for sensors apertures etc.
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. Its space qualified cells are provided with extensive characterization and test reports. Isis cubesat solar panels. 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.
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. Isis provides a range of high performance cubesat compatible solar panels. 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.
Our innovative design with an aluminum substrate with a flex pcb overlay for the cells allows for most mission specific.
