Solar-Z High-Power Solar Array
Astradyne
The Solar-Z is Astradyne’s flagship solar array designed for high-power GEO satellites requiring sustained output in excess of 10 kW. Using advanced 4-junction solar cells and a two-wing deployable boom structure, Solar-Z maximises end-of-life power while meeting the demanding mass and stiffness requirements of commercial GEO operators. The array is compatible with electric propulsion-based GEO […]
