Hey tech enthusiasts! Get ready for a space tech game-changer 🚀 – GalaxySpace, a Beijing-based commercial space firm, has unveiled a rollable, water bottle-sized solar wing designed to revolutionize satellite energy systems.
At a dynamic two-day conference in Yibin, industry insiders got a first look at this fully flexible solar array. When deployed in orbit, the panel unfurls to over 10 meters in length and covers about 20 square meters—roughly the size of a conference room—yet it can be rolled up as small as a water bottle. This smart design cuts down satellite weight and volume, while offering four times the energy density of traditional rigid panels. It’s a major win for launches with multiple satellites and long-term orbit constellations.
GalaxySpace is already making waves with 25 self-designed satellites and a state-of-the-art intelligent factory in Nantong, where robots and digital systems work hand-in-hand with experts to build everything from 100- to 2,000-kilogram satellites. From the innovative hubs in South Asia to the creative centers of Southeast Asia, this breakthrough is fueling the imagination of tech lovers everywhere.
Stay tuned for more updates as space tech continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible!
