About

The Dcubed PowerCube is a deployable 100W Origami Solar Array designed for high-power space missions. It is stowed within a 1U form factor, making it one of the smallest yet most powerful solar array solutions available on the market. This design allows for extremely power-intensive space missions while requiring only minimal stowed volume during launch. The PowerCube is easily resettable, user-friendly, and readily available as a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) subsystem. Key features include a short delivery time of 12 months, an End-of-Life (EOL) power output of 100 W over a 5-year lifetime, and a compact stowed volume of 100x100x100 mm (1U). When deployed, it measures 110x110x190 mm. The array has a mass of 1.2 Kg and operates with a bus voltage of 14-28 V. It also features redundant actuation and is compliant with the CubeSat standard. The Dcubed Origami Solar Array is ITAR Free.
