Application directions

One light source.
Many mission needs.

Explore potential applications through mission requirements, integrated prototypes and project-specific testing.

Satellite power

Start with the energy budget.

Assess illumination, eclipse periods, payload demand and storage together to define the spacecraft power system.

Discuss a mission

Solar wing integration

Design the whole array.

Evaluate cell packaging, interconnects, available area, mass and deployment constraints as an integrated assembly.

Discuss integration

Research and prototypes

Turn a concept into evidence.

Use samples and representative assemblies to explore interfaces, environmental behaviour and a mission-specific validation plan.

The path to validation

Start on the ground.
Design for the mission.

Space suitability depends on the complete system and its operating environment. Terrestrial module ratings do not establish flight readiness.

  1. 01

    Mission profile

    Define orbit, illumination, lifetime, power demand and spacecraft interfaces before selecting a cell or array concept.

  2. 02

    Environment and reliability

    Plan thermal-vacuum, radiation and mechanical assessments around the relevant mission conditions and acceptance criteria.

  3. 03

    System-level evidence

    Evaluate representative hardware with the power electronics, storage and deployment interfaces. Record results and remaining limits.

Explore tandem technology

Begin with the mission

A new horizon.
A shared design challenge.
