StarMax represents a rethinking of the manufacturing plan for space station modules. With updated techniques and design goals based on next-gen launch vehicles, Gravitics can reduce costs and increase performance.<\/p>\n<p>mPower Technology\u2019s DragonSCALES solar modules are composed of a completely flexible, interconnected mesh of high-efficiency silicon solar cells and will serve as a key component of the integrated solar cell option for StarMax. DragonSCALES modules are ideally suited for this application. They are lightweight, low-cost, and resistant to damage from orbital debris. Additionally, since they are flexible, they enable completely new design options that align with the curved configuration of StarMax.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPower is a critical component of any space station,\u201d said Colin Doughan, CEO of Gravitics. \u201cWe look forward to working with mPower to provide space-proven, reliable solar power for our StarMax modules, enabling the next generation of space stations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to team up with Gravitics to help the company produce the building blocks for a sustainable human presence in space,\u201d said Kevin Hell, CEO, and president of mPower Technology. \u201cWe believe DragonSCALES is the perfect solar power solution for StarMax.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Click here to learn about Power Systems for satellites from various manufacturers listed on SatNow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Innovative solar technology company, mPower Technology announced that its DragonSCALESTM solar power system will be used as the solar power solution for the Gravitics StarMaxTM space station modules.
