View more6 FAQs about [Solar panel deployment device]
What is a deployable solar panel?
The deployable solar panel consists of three solar panels, stacked on each other in the stowed configuration. The deployment sequence develops in two steps, as shown in Fig. 5. First the solar array pack deploys from the Cubesat body, when the thermal cut TC1 is activated.
How a solar panel deployment system works?
The deployment system is based on a plastic fiber wire and thermal cutters, guaranteeing a suitable level of reliability. A test-bed for the solar panel deployment testing has been developed, supporting the solar array during deployment reproducing the dynamical situation in orbit.
How are solar panels connected in a lateral deployment configuration?
In the longitudinal deployment configuration the solar panels are connected on the side parallel to the main hinge (the one connecting the solar panel system to the satellite main structure). In the lateral deployment configuration the solar panels are connected on the side perpendicular to the main hinge. Fig. 4.
What is a modular deployable solar panel system for CubeSats?
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.
Can solar panels be deployed in a regular gravity environment?
Hence a deployment sequence in a regular gravity environment would not be representative of real conditions in orbit. To release the solar panels' weight from the hinges, a low friction support has been developed, based on small lubricated steel spheres located in appropriate spherical holes machined in the support.
What are the advantages of solar panel deployment?
Less moment of inertia of the deployed solar panel about the steering axis (SADA motor size and continuous operation power). Less disturbance on the satellite attitude due to SADA operation and solar panel motion. No possibility of solar panel impacts on the structure, in case of malfunctioning during the deployment phase.
