Image of Redwire Space - Rigid Panel Solar Array Systems on the satsearch marketplace

Key highlights

The Redwire Space Rigid Panel Solar Array Systems is a solar array system with a honeycomb panel construction and low shock launch restraint systems. The system features higher redundancy and reliable hinge assemblies with damping and latching as required. The scalable array system can be used in yoke / offset structure standoff configurations and stowed/deployable configurations.

The system is designed to be economic and feature rapid production times. Redwire Space partnerships include leading photovoltaic technologies such as SolAero, Spectrolab, Azur and Mpower to offer their product at an economically competitive price.

Rigid panel solar arrays are also suitable for electrostatic and magnetic cleanliness applications and ESD applications.
