Fox-1 Z Axis Solar Panels Approved

The AMSAT Fox engineering team has completed the design of the printed
circuit boards for the satellite’s “Z” axis solar panels. Each of these printed
circuit boards (PCBs) will accommodate two Boeing/Spectrolab UTJ solar cells.
There is a hole in the panel for the lens of the Camera module that is being
developed by Virginia Tech. A sample PCB was fabricated and sent to our
partner SpaceQuest who approved it for manufacturing into our solar panels.
