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.

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
