Development Of A Deployable 3u Cubesat Solar Panel Array

Our 3u solar panel x y utilizes seven highly efficient triple junction solar cells.

Development of a deployable 3u cubesat solar panel array.

The most common failure of cubesats is negative power budget. Developed a burn wire triggering type of mechanism for deployable solar panels for 3 u cubesats called micromas. Allen guzik and othmane benafan. 22 26 increasing the performance with respect to body mounted solar panels from 160 to 400.

The advanced electrical bus albus project is a technology demonstration mission of a 3u cubesat with an advanced digitally controlled electrical power system capability and the novel use of shape memory alloy sma technology for reliable solar array sa deployable mechanisms. Several deployable solar panel solutions for 3u cubesat have been developed with total delivered power ranging from 22 w to 56 w e g. 3u cubesat solar panel equipped with 7 solar cells providing up to 8 43 w per panel in leo. The solar panel is mechanically constrained by tightening the nylon wire through the mechanical hole interfaces on the solar panel as shown in figure 1.

High resolution 1m 10km swath 3u cubesat concept. It supports multiple integrated sensors and it is fully compliant with the cubesat standard. The gaas solar array and m6p solar panels by nanoavionics the nanoavionics gaas solar arrays and panels are made of high performance triple junction space grade solar cells for missions with high power requirements. The high power generation capabilities radiation and temperature resilience ensure smooth space operations.

Good power management is also vital to maximise efficiency and safety on board.
