About
The DROP-08 is a deployable solar panel system engineered for 8U/4U CubeSats. It features a single deployable element with a deployment configuration of 135°/90°. The front side of the panel provides 10W of power. Additional power can be achieved with a backstring option, adding another 10W, and a body-mounted option, contributing an extra 10W, bringing the total peak platform power to 30W. The system operates with an open-circuit voltage of 20.8V and incorporates a dual redundant deployment system for enhanced reliability. This product is suggested for 8U/4U CubeSat platforms.
