Development Of A Deployable 3u Cubesat Solar Panel Array

It supports multiple integrated sensors and it is fully compliant with the cubesat standard.

Development of a deployable 3u cubesat solar panel array.

High resolution 1m 10km swath 3u cubesat concept. Our 6u deployable solar panel is a fully qualified solar panel and compliant with the cubesat standard. 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. The size of each solar panels is the size of a lateral cubesat surface.

The arrays are composed by 5 panels 3 on top 2 on bottom that attached to the cubesat structure just as another solar panel and once in orbit deploys to full extension includes deploy and release contact sensors and custom options are available on requests like sun and temperature sensors 7 panel configuration and your choice of solar cells. Generated by deployable solar panel with respect to body fixed ones is significant. In the present work a deployable solar panel based on a burn wire triggering holding and release mechanism was developed for use of 6 u cubesat. Tailored solar panel configuration to match orbit mission is more important than solar cell area.

22 26 increasing the performance with respect to body mounted solar panels from 160 to 400 27. Our 3u solar panel x y utilizes seven highly efficient triple junction solar cells. Several deployable solar panel solutions for 3u cubesat have been developed with total delivered power ranging from 22 w to 56 w e g. The most common failure of cubesats is negative power budget.

Good power management is also vital to maximise efficiency and safety on board. The high power generation capabilities radiation and temperature resilience ensure smooth space operations.
