Atomic-6 Wins $2M DoD Contract For Solar Array Tech

Atomic-6 won a $2M contract from SSC to continue development of its Light Wing solar array, which collapses to enable RPO and stealth missions. The TACFI contract will fund work during a 21-month period to prove the composite solar array tech can survive a trip to space and flight-qualify the system. What’s different: One of the top reasons that sats fail is problems with solar array deployment—something that Light Wing aims to address. Accordin…
