Abstract EN
In this present work, a highly damped deployable solar panel module was developed for application in the 3 U CubeSat.
The solar panel proposed herein is effective in guaranteeing the structural safety of solar cells under a launch environment owing to the superior damping characteristics achieved using multilayered stiffeners with viscoelastic acrylic tapes.
A holding and release action of the solar panel was achieved by a new version of spring-loaded pogo pin-based burn wire triggering mechanism.
A demonstration model of high-damping solar panel assembly was fabricated and tested to validate the effectiveness of the design.
The holding and release mechanism achieved using a pogo pin was functionally tested through solar panel deployment tests under ambient room temperature and a thermal vacuum environment.
The design effectiveness and structural safety of the solar panel module were validated through qualification-level launch and in-orbit environment tests.
