Clyde Space Solar Panels

The side solar panels are designed to fit at the side plates of our cubesat structures.

Clyde space solar panels.

The purpose of these panels is to provide maximum power generation from any side of the satellite. Aac clyde space to develop solar panels for orbital manoeuvring vehicle 4 june 2020 aac clyde space aac clyde space has been selected to develop a new solar panel for moog s new small launch orbital manoeuvring vehicle sl omv a space tug designed to deploy cubesat constellations and guide small satellites to their final orbit. The sl omv is designed to carry satellites which do not have their own propulsion system to their desired orbits a capability which will be needed for the deployment of constellations. The panels primarily use spectrolab xtj prime solar cells but aac clyde space also has experience working with azur and solaero alternatives.

Moog has selected glasgow based aac clyde space to develop a new solar panel to power the vehicle in a contract worth 340 000 with the first flight mode due for delivery in 2021. All photon solar panels are constructed from aluminum coupled with pcb inserts and proprietary hold down release mechanisms leveraging decades of in orbit heritage.

For missions requiring perfomance longevity and that bit more space in the trunk our epic 6u class is just the job.

Aac clyde space provides rapidly manufactured spacecraft services and solutions designed with quality and innovation in mind for the small satellite market. Small in size but massive in value the aac clyde space epic 1u offers the same quality design and build flight proven performance unrivalled operational up time and excellent customer service as all our spacecraft products. The aac clyde space photon solar panels are designed and qualified for maximum power generation and ease of platform integration. Boasting large deployable solar arrays and enhanced pointing not to mention our flight proven avionics core our epic 6u class is the ideal choice for both commercial and government missions.

Aac clyde space will develop the new solar panel to power the vehicle under a contract worth 340 000 awarded by us based moog. The big dog of our cubesat range is the epic 12u.
