FalconSat7

MMAs team successfully completed development, flight testing, and delivery of the USAFA FalconSAT-7 deployment system for a photon sieve payload (called Peregrine), the worlds first space-based thin membrane telescope. Peregrine is a thin membrane with billions of holes that duplicates the function of a traditional lens but folds into a smaller space. The FalconSAT-7 mission is scheduled to launch in 2017, and its primary objective will be to image the sun. Successful technology development will enable scaled, deployable telescopes for space-based imaging at a significantly lower mass and cost than traditional fixed optics.

Stand-Off Mechanism

The Stand-Off Mechanism (SOM) is a deployable structure with space flight heritage. It provides payload clearance in applications in which a fixed bracket is not feasible. The typical payload is the MMA Design De-Orbit Module; however, the SOM can be scaled for use with other payloads.
Highly scalable
Redundant composite tapes
No motors passive mechanism
Includes an optional mechanical inhibit for the attached payload
Does not rotate during deployment
No end-of-motion lockout needed
Electrical feed-thru
End-of-motion shock is lessened using Belleville washer
Undamped deployment. Damping can be added

Solar Array

  • Model No. zHaWK
Based on the innovative HaWK solar array series, the zHaWK consists of two 3-panel trifold array wings each mounted on opposite 1U x3U faces. Like other HaWK configuratuons, the complete array system is stowed for launch and released after power is applied to a melt rod release mechanism. Deployment of the flip-out panels and wings is accomplished using stored energy provided by springs. The deployment is a low energy event and does not require any damping. Once deployed the array wings are in position for power development. If the mission requires, the sun tracking single axis SADA is used to track the sun position and provide maximum average orbital power.

HaWK Solar Array

  • Watts 36 Watts BOL @ 70°C peak power
MMAs patented HaWK (High Watts per Kilogram) solar array technology is a state-of-the-art deployable satellite power solution, providing best-in-class performance metrics for MicroSat platforms. Our modular and scalable components offer a variety of architecture designs to meet mission requirements. Our focus is on maintaining common components for elegant, deployable power solutions that are reliable at a competitive price point.
The HaWK system is designed for the CubeSat and Small Sat platforms, and provides a building block approach which allows modularity and scalability. Its innovative packaging and restraint scheme seamlessly mount to the outer surface of any CubeSat and meets 6.5mm envelope requirements. On-command deployment using an integrated heater circuit provides command and control versatility to mission operators. Increase orbital average power (OAP) through a uniquely designed single-axis, dual-wing, sun tracking gimbal assembly at 6.5mm thick.
