The Redwire BowSAW Deployable Solar Array Wing is a space power generation solution for small satellites. The BowSAW is a high-performance, reliable, scalable, versatile solution for deriving electricity from sunlight, offering a plentiful power source for running high power payloads, sensors, active heating, cooling, telemetry, and spacecraft propulsion applications.

The BowSAW Deployable Solar Array Wing provides the following benefits:

• High-Performance: utilizes a lightweight, low volume, stiff, and low-cost deployable backing structure
• Reliable: passively driven, partially retractable and sequenced deployment reduces risk
• Scalable: performance is maintained through a wide variety of wing sizes ranging from 150 W to 6,000 W
• Versatile: multiple types of solar cells can be deployed, enabling optimization for reliability, mass or cost

Applications of the BowSAW include:

• High Power Payloads
• Sensors
• Active Heating / Cooling
• Telemetry
• Spacecraft Propulsion

Customers select the BowSAW for the solar array applications because the solution offers:

• Power-rich capabilities - The BowSAW packs signficant power in a small space using a low-cost deployable backing structure.
• Usable on any spacecraft - The BowSAW utilizes its distributed lattice structure to maintain high performance across many wing sizes. BowSAW is SADA compatible, and stows within a small footprint that allows flexibility with spacecraft layout.
• Optimized for many missions - For missions ranging from the mass-constrained Mars transit, or a cost-constrained LEO constellation because the flexible BowSAW power solution can deploy any type of solar cell.
