Commercialization of Deployable Space Systems' roll-out solar array (ROSA) technology for Space Systems Loral (SSL) solar arrays
Abstract
Deployable Space Systems (DSS) developed an advanced flexible blanket ROSA that provides ultra-low weight, compact stowage volume, high power capability, power modularity, scale-ability, and affordability. Recent NASA and AFRL programs have helped advance the ROSA solar array to Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6. Space Systems Loral (SSL) has selected this technology for commercial qualification and infusion. SSL is currently developing and qualifying ROSA technology as part of a next generation power generating system for future geosynchronous (GEO) spacecraft, advanced NASA and DOD missions. The generic benefits (vs. standard rigid array technology) of adopting a flexible blanket solar array for the GEO application will be presented. An overview of the SSL ROSA qualification program will be presented in combination with relevant design modeling, key analysis, hardware build, validation testing tests performed to date, and next steps for implementation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
