Solar Arrays - ILC Dover

ILC has developed several highly compact solar array systems and integrated flexible and rigid photovoltaic units into various deployable products. We have worked with NASA, aerospace prime contractors and universities in the development of deployable arrays and integrated electronics. Each of our solar array programs leveraged the benefits of inflatable structures and membrane systems to yield lightweight, compact packaged solar arrays. We have developed planer arrays, omni-directional arrays, and static arrays. Some of our experience includes:

• Power Sphere (Aerospace Corporation).
• Teledesic Solar Array technology demonstrator (Teledesic).
• Mars Rover Solar Array (JPL).
• Deep Space 4 / ST-4 Champollion Solar Array (JPL)
• Intelligent Flexible Deployable Space Structures (NASA)
• High Altitude Airships
• Deployable antenna structures
