About
The SP6X is a solar panel specifically engineered for CubeSat applications, compatible with both 6U and 12U CubeSat structures. It incorporates high-efficiency triple-junction UTJ solar cells to maximize power generation. The panel has a mass of 335g and can deliver a peak power output ranging from 18.4 to 20 Watts. Its current at maximum power is between 1 and 1.04 Amperes, with a voltage at maximum power of 18.4 to 20 Volts. The open-circuit voltage is specified between 20.8 and 22 Volts. For connectivity, it features four parallel picoblade power connectors. The SP6X also integrates several sensors, including a digital temperature sensor, an NTC thermistor, two coarse sun sensors for attitude determination, an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), and a magnetic sensor. It offers alternative solar cell connection options and includes an RBF (Remove Before Flight) mechanism.
