CAVU Solar Panels
Overview
CAVU Solar Panels are engineered to provide dependable, high-efficiency power for spacecraft operating in the most challenging space environments. Each panel incorporates triple-junction GaAs solar cells with efficiency options of 30% or 32%, optimizing power output and minimizing the panel's footprint. Built with CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced polymer) skins and aluminum honeycomb cores, CAVU panels are lightweight yet highly durable, tailored for the unique demands of both LEO and GEO missions.
