About
The SP2X is a solar panel specifically engineered for 2U CubeSat structures, providing power generation for small satellite missions. It incorporates high-efficiency triple junction UTJ solar cells to maximize power output in space environments. The panel is equipped with two parallel picoblade power connectors for reliable electrical integration. For monitoring and attitude determination, it includes a digital temperature sensor, an NTC thermistor, two coarse sun sensors, an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and a magnetic sensor. The design also offers alternative solar cell connection options and features a Remove Before Flight (RBF) mechanism. With a mass of 87g, it delivers a peak power of 4.6-5W, a maximum current of 500-520mA, and a maximum power voltage of 9.2-10V, with an open circuit voltage of 10.4-11V.
