Rocket Lab selected by Airbus Constellation Satellites to provide solar panels

Rocket Lab (RKLB) announced its selection by Airbus Constellation Satellites (EADSY) to provide space grade solar panels for 100 OneWeb Low Earth Orbit satellites for Eutelsat Group. OneWeb satellites are designed to provide high-speed, low-latency global internet access to remote and underserved areas. Rocket Lab will provide 200 solar panels, inclusive of carbon composite panel substrates, solar cells, and photovoltaic assemblies. These panels will be manufactured at Rocket Lab’s 150,000 square-foot space solar production facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Rocket Lab’s panels will provide the large LEO constellation with approximately 80 kW of power, enough to power 16 Hubble-sized space telescopes.
