Orbital ATK in Goleta specializes in deployable space systems, specifically deployable solar arrays. These “wings” are built for zero gravity and extremely low temperatures yet must be tested here on earth. AutoTrack’s active control offloader supports the weight of a single solar panel to enable deployment testing on earth. Using a laser sensor, a control system, and a high precision motor, AutoTrack’s Offloader will impart little to no friction into the test for the most accurate results.
