Now Accepting Solar Cells for the Orbital Electronics Lab
Aegis Aerospace’s commercial space testing as a service (STaaS™) now includes solar cell testing and calibration capability provided by Angstrom Designs. The Orbital Electronics Lab (OEL) provides a consistent, completely turnkey way to perform advanced testing and calibration for solar panel integrators and photovoltaic (PV) researchers in low Earth orbit (LEO). Solar cell testing and calibration augments the existing suite of testing options (thermal cycling, radiation, vacuum exposure and vibration testing) provided by the STaaS Platform.
In addition, everything flown on the OEL is returned from orbit enabling the customer to conduct post-flight analyses – further advancing a robust understanding of the technology’s performance.
The STaaS™ platform enables customers to reduce risk, increase Technology Readiness Level (TRL), obtain flight heritage, perform basic science, and obtain easy, consistent, rapid access to space at a reasonable price.
Commercial and easy government contracting is available. Contact Aegis Aerospace or Angstrom Designs for pricing and details.
