Introducing SARA

Solar Array Rotary Actuator

  • Sun tracking

    Automated sun tracking mode
    doubles the power available on board

  • Fail-safe

    Our proprietary fail-safe mechanism offers a guaranteed performance level in case of anomalies

Average power intake increased by 2x

Unique Value Proposition

  • Plug & Play

    Standardized, easy-to-install solution with HDRM and optional solar panels

  • Fail-safe

    Fault-tolerant by design, thanks to our backup mechanism that restores the panels to a default position

  • Autonomous System

    Our dedicated electronics guarantee autonomy from the satellite computer, so it can stay focused on its mission
