Precision carbon fiber solar panel substrates for the next generation of orbital spacecraft. Faster to produce, lighter in orbit, and built for constellation-scale demand.
Our Technology Get in TouchOrbital Panel Co. manufactures carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) solar array substrate panels — the structural backbone onto which solar cells are mounted in every satellite. Our automated layup process eliminates the manual, labor-intensive methods that constrain legacy suppliers.
Designed specifically for mega-constellation production volumes, our substrates deliver aerospace-grade dimensional accuracy, radiation tolerance, and thermal stability at a fraction of incumbent lead times.
Every substrate Orbital Panel Co. produces undergoes rigorous environmental and mechanical verification before delivery. Our quality regime is built around the same standards demanded by the programs we serve.
We perform thermal cycling, vibration, acoustic, and outgassing testing in-house, with full dimensional inspection and non-destructive evaluation at each stage of production.
The performance of a solar array substrate is determined not just by the carbon fiber material, but by how precisely the layup variables — fiber angle, resin content, cure pressure, and thermal ramp rates — are controlled throughout production.
Orbital Panel Co. was founded specifically to commercialize a proprietary understanding of how these process variables interact to produce substrates that exceed existing performance benchmarks at lower cost.
Our manufacturing process applies real-time feedback control across layup, cure, and post-process steps — eliminating the artisanal variability that drives yield loss and qualification risk in conventional substrate production.
