Voyager Solar Panels

Featuring a sophisticated and comprehensive led bar for charge state identification and a bright blue back lit lcd for displaying system information including error codes the voyager was engineered to be of world class quality.

Voyager solar panels.

Instead they were equipped with power sources called radioisotope thermoelectric generators rtgs. These devices used on other deep space missions convert the heat produced from the natural radioactive decay of plutonium into electricity to power the spacecraft instruments computers radio and other systems. Voyager 1 and 2 were designed to take advantage of a rare planetary alignment to explore the outer solar system. Weighing in at about 26 60 lbs this lightweight suitcase includes two 50 watt monocrystalline solar panels one 20 amp waterproof voyager charge controller with an lcd screen for power regulation one 10ft tray cable with alligator clips for easy connection to the battery and a protective casing for safe portability.

The rtgs generated about 470 w of electric power at the time of launch with the remainder being dissipated as waste heat. Suitable for 12v off grid applications the voyager can charge up to 7 different battery types including lithium ion. In case of power outages and failures especially during typhoons hurricanes and other natural disasters the katio ka500 voyager can be charged via solar energy as it comes with its patented and durable solar panel. Voyager 1 targeted jupiter and saturn before continuing on to chart the far edges of our solar system.

The voyagers travel too far from the sun to use solar panels.
