About
HEMERIA is committed to on-time supply of high-quality industrial solar arrays solutions for spacecraft, in the 30W to 1KW range, using a CNES-approved manufacturing process. These solar arrays are designed for various orbits including LEO, GEO, MEO, and exploration missions, with a lifetime of 5 to 8 years in orbit. They feature 1-3 panels per array, utilizing Azurspace AZUR 3G30A or Spectrolab XTE CIC cells. The substrate is made of CFRP skin with an aluminum honeycomb panel, and hinges are developed in-house. HEMERIA also offers qualified repair processes for their solar arrays. The design and acceptance tests typically take 6 to 9 months, while design and qualification can be completed in 2 to 3 months. These solar arrays have been approved on missions such as ANGELS, Smallsat, IDEFIX, KINEIS, and the MMX Rover.
