In-Space Manufacturing Flexible Solar Array

Vendor profile

Overview

In Space Manufactured DCUBED’s solar arrays are built using a modular approach, which makes them extremely compact (about half the volume of a standard deployable solar array), light-weight (with a 2/3 weight reduction), while exhibiting extreme durability. This allows for maximum power generation for a given mass and volume, but at the same time reduces the cost by one order of magnitude and the lead time by months.

Key Features
Maximize deployed surface area with compact stowage for launch.
EOL Power: up to 2kW
Minimal stowed volume
Maximum power to mass ratio
In-Space Manufactured
Turn-key subsystem including substrate, solar cells and HDRMs

Export Control
The DCUBED Flexible Blanket Solar Array is ITAR Free.
