About MMA Design

MMA Design LLC is a US-based spacecraft structures and solar array company headquartered in Louisville, Colorado, specializing in high-performance deployable solar arrays, solar panels, and antenna reflectors for commercial and government satellites. The company's UltraFlex solar array technology — originally developed in partnership with NASA — provides lightweight, high-power solar power solutions for small satellites and CubeSats, delivering superior specific power (watts per kilogram) compared to conventional rigid panel arrays. MMA Design's products include deployable solar array wings, deployable antenna reflectors, and structural mechanisms for satellites from 1U CubeSats to full-size spacecraft. The company has supplied solar arrays for NASA science missions, commercial LEO satellites, and lunar surface systems, with over 100 deployable structures successfully deployed in space.

Products

9

330 W deployable solar array wing for a 24U DoD CubeSat with a 9-panel active surface — believed to be the largest deployable solar array ever flown on a CubeSat.

1 4

Composite tape truss boom achieving expansion ratios up to 100:1 with minimum stow volumes down to 1U — building block for antennas, solar arrays, and deployable instruments.

2 4

Passive drag-sail de-orbit system for spacecraft and launch vehicle upper stages — heritage since 2013, ~12.5 m² deployed sail area from a shoebox-sized stowed volume, single-actuation passive deployment.

2 9
TRL 8 · Qualified

Nested UHF membrane antenna covering two frequency bands (400-600 MHz and 800-1000 MHz) with an 8:1 compaction ratio — qualified to TRL 8 with a mission scheduled.

1 11
TRL 6 · Prototype

Low-cost, high-reliability deployable solar array using proprietary thin-film membrane substrate with next-generation silicon solar cells — TRL 6, cell-agnostic design for constellation platforms.

2 6

Rigid-panel deployable solar arrays delivering 36 W to 330 W, flight-proven on defense, exploration, and commercial missions including NASA's MarCO interplanetary CubeSats.

2 3

Next-generation deployable high-gain reflectarray for a 160 kg fully polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar small satellite — images day/night through cloud, rain, and haze.

1 4

Solar-tracking gimbal originally designed for CubeSats, adaptable to ESPA-class and larger spacecraft — up to 180° actuation range with up to 16 power/signal feed-throughs per wing.

1 5

Flight-proven passive deployable stand-off structure using folded tape springs and a Frangibolt release mechanism — deploys to approximately 8 inches height.
