Product Introduction

The solar panel deployment mechanism is designed to hold the solar panel down before satelite-rocket separation and release solarpanel for deploy after separation. lt includes two parts: Hinge and HDRM (Hold Down and Release Mechanism).

Hinges include root hinges and inter-panel hinges. with more than 100 flight heritages ranging from cubesats to 50kg-classsatellites, the hinges are proven to be lightweight and reliable.

The HDRM includes thermal knife separation nut, thermal expansion split nut, and memory alloy models for hold down and releasesolar panel. lt has the advantages of non-explosive, low impact, small size, light weight, and resettable on the ground.

The deployment mechanism developed by Everlight Space has been widely used in satelite solar panel, cameras, and antennas.
