About
The DROP-12 is a deployable solar panel system tailored for 12U CubeSats. It features a dual redundant deployment system to ensure reliability. The system offers flexibility in power generation with options for backstring and body-mounted solar cells, each contributing an additional 20W. The standard configuration provides 20W from the front side, with a total peak platform power of 60W when all options are utilized. The deployment configuration allows for angles of 135°/90°. It is suggested for use with both 6U and 12U platforms and operates with an open-circuit voltage of 20.8V or 41.6V.
