ClydeSpace - This short video shows one of the first tests of our doubel deployed solar panel prototype. The system has an integrated thermal knife and driver and is designed to be CubeSat structure independant (i.e. the hinges and operation do not require structure modifications). The system has also passed tests at +80C and -40C.
