Solar Array Drive Assemblies (SADA's)

TPI Solar Array Drive Assemblies (SADA's) have been developed for small spacecrafts that require solar array pointing and power transfer.  We offer the first flight-capable SADA that offers traditional space performance and reliability at a price supportive of typical small spacecraft budgets. 

Example of a current SADA that has undergone qualification, life testing, and launch with performance data below:

• Solar array pointing and power transfer in the 1.5 kW range
• Utilization of vacuum and temperature capable commercial components
• Incorporation of a large central hole housing a twist harness section, hard stops, and position indication at the range of motion extremes and home position
