About
The SP1X is a solar panel specifically designed for the XY side of 1U CubeSat structures. It incorporates high-efficiency triple junction UTJ solar cells to maximize power generation in space environments. The panel is lightweight, with a mass of 40g, and can provide a peak power output of 2.3-2.5W. It features two parallel picoblade power connectors for electrical integration. Beyond power generation, the SP1X also includes several integrated sensors crucial for satellite operations: a digital temperature sensor, an NTC thermistor, a coarse sun sensor for attitude determination, an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), and a magnetic sensor. These integrated features make the SP1X a comprehensive solution for CubeSat power and basic attitude sensing needs.
