Boeing is to deliver six additional solar arrays to NASA for the International Space Station. The new arrays will increase the on-board laboratory’s power supply and installation is scheduled to begin later this year.
Developed by Boeing's Spectrolab subsidiary, the new 63 by 20-foot (19 by 6-m) arrays are based on the company's advanced XTJ Prime family of solar cells, which provide more power than previous cells while operating at a cooler temperature for less waste heat.
The company also built the canister, frame and solar array blanket for a prototype of the new arrays that was successfully tested aboard the ISS in June 2017. Spectrolab, another Boeing company also based in California, will produces the arrays’ XTJ Prime solar cells.
HOUSTON, Jan. 11, 2021 – Boeing [NYSE: BA] will support the International Space Station’s (ISS) growing research capabilities and commercial opportunities with new solar arrays to increase the orbiting laboratory’s power supply.
They are the same solar cells that power Boeing's CST-100 Starliner spacecraft in flight and while docked to the ISS. Spectrolab also produced the station’s original solar cells, as well as the solar cells tested on the prototype.
Boeing company Deployable Space Systems of Santa Barbara will produce the structure of the new arrays, including the canister and frame that will unfurl to hold the solar-array blankets in place.
