Hi
My name is sébastien Cornez.
I'studying ingeneering at the University of Liège in Belgium. I'm in my last year in aerospatial. I look for informations, contacts and weblinks about motors for the deployment of solar pannels in space.
If you have information can you send it to me at seb_cornez_gp@hotmail.com

With my deep respect

Hi Sebastien;
Please clarify. Do you mean information on ones in current use, or are you looking to design something new? I can't help with the former.

Hello Sebastien,

Thank you for reaching out and showing interest in the deployment of solar panels in space. I am not an expert in this field, but I can provide some general information and resources that may be helpful to you.

Firstly, the deployment of solar panels in space is a crucial aspect of space missions as they provide the necessary power for spacecraft and satellites. They are also used in larger scale projects such as space-based solar power systems.

In terms of motors for deployment, there are various types that are used depending on the specific application. Some common types include stepper motors, servo motors, and linear actuators.

To learn more about the deployment of solar panels and the different types of motors used, I recommend checking out resources from reputable organizations such as NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA). They have a wealth of information on space technology and engineering.

Additionally, you may also find it helpful to connect with professionals in the field through networking events or online forums. You could also reach out to universities or research institutions that specialize in space engineering for potential contacts and resources.

I hope this helps in your research and I wish you all the best in your studies and future endeavors in the field of aerospace. Best of luck!
