Raising the Bar for Artemis Program’s PPE Solar Array Simulation Frame

Bell-Everman partnered with Angstrom Designs to create an innovative motion system for testing the Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) module’s solar panels, a critical component of NASA’s Artemis Program. The solution, a mobile-robot gantry system with a servo-controlled vertical axis, replaced traditional automation frames to handle the massive solar arrays. Designed for precision and efficiency, the system overcame structural and operational challenges, delivering a robust solution for this advanced space exploration initiative.

At Cross Company, we’re proud to partner with Bell-Everman to deliver precision motion systems like these. With extensive experience integrating automation solutions into customer processes, our engineers help businesses achieve greater efficiency and performance.
