Elastomeric end pieces enable isostatic flexible pivots that resist launch stresses while active control attenuates low-frequency disturbances.
Canted incidence angle sensor enables conical scanning to align spacecraft axis with the Sun, reducing sensor complexity and cost.
Selective solar cell section deactivation generates differential radiation pressure torque, unloading reaction wheel momentum without thruster fuel consumption.
A miniature release mechanism secures nanosatellite deployables using a threaded interface and retracting pins.
