Summary
The EXA DMSA 6U/A is a Deployable Multifunction Solar Array designed for 6U CubeSats. It is the upgraded version of the latest DMSA/1.
It is based on artificial muscles for CubeSats in the range of 1U to 6U. The arrays fold into a panel attached to the CubeSat structure just as another solar panel and once in orbit it deploys to full extension, It includes deploy and release contact sensors and its own deploy control board.
The product also includes embedded antennas that range from VHF to L band, where customers longer need to buy and manage antenna systems. The DMSA has them embedded in its structure as 2 monopoles or 1 dipole and they deploy with the solar array, customers just need to connect the cable to their radio.
It also has embedded sun and temperature sensors. These solar panels feature a very high efficiency for very high-power missions; the maximum folded thickness is 6.25 mm for the 3-panel array. Every array is tested and qualified in EXA's own facilities and shipped with full reports, the DMSA 6U/A yields the best results when coupled with EXA's high-capacity batteries.
