A calibrated light source capable of illuminating a square object of up to 25×35 cm2 (e.g., one or two adjacent faces of a 6U/12U CubeSat) at different angles of incidence with nearly uniform spatial distribution.
Power density can be set either equal to direct sunlight on the Earth’s surface (so-called AM1) or outside the atmosphere (so-called AM0) or other selectable illuminations.

Description
Although the light spectrum emitted by the 12U Solar Simulator and its color temperature are not identical to that of the sun, SpaceMotionery’s 12U Light Source is calibrated at firmware level to generate light intensity such as to compensate spectral differences and produce equivalent effects to sunlight, both on the Earth surface (AM1) and outside the atmosphere (AM0).
The Solar Simulator allows to perform the following measures:
• Thermal effects on black, white or colored surfaces;
• Photoelectric effects in different types of solar cells (single and triple junction, Si and GaAs);
• Overall behaviour in sunlight of 12U CubeSat.
Light emission can be modulated in time, to simulate, e.g. sat rotation cycle.
The main applications are the thermal and electrical testing of nanosatellites (CubeSat in primis), solar cells, small solar thermal demonstration plants or for didactic experiments of thermology or physics.
The 12U Solar Simulator can be associated with the 12U Fixed Stand or 12U Turn Table for straightforward testing of various objects, including CubeSat, solar cell, and other objects.
Suggested configurations: Bare; With a fixed stand; With a turn-table; With up to six sensors (Temperature; Voltage, current and power sensors; Other sensors).
As with all other SpaceMotionery systems, the Solar Simulator can be controlled, via WiFi, from a smartphone, a PC or any other system that can interact via WiFi with an HTTP protocol.
Interface to MATLAB/Octave via WiFi.
