Momentus and Ascent Solar Technologies Partner to Bring to Market Leading-Edge Solar Arrays - Seite 2

TASSA is also retractable and re-deployable, providing a means for the minimization of cross-sectional area and array exposure if notified of potential conjunction or other orbital hazards such as space weather. This could enable TASSA to facilitate longer mission durations and increased assurance of spacecraft operations on orbit.

“Ascent’s flexible, lightweight photovoltaic modules are ideal for the space environment,” says Paul Warley, ASTI CEO, “as our CIGS products are resilient to radiation and other drivers of degradation while operating in orbits between the Earth and the Moon. For those designing space missions, this equates to more end-of-life power with an order of magnitude less mass. We’re excited to be the baseline power generation solution for TASSA and look forward to continuing to collaborate with the Momentus team to provide long-lived and sustainable solutions for proliferated space architectures.”
