From March 12 to 14, the 2026 Shanghai Commercial Space Conference and Exhibition took place at the Shanghai Pudong International Expo Center. During this event, a range of groundbreaking aerospace products developed by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology—a subsidiary of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation—were proudly displayed. Notably, the rolled flexible solar array stole the spotlight, earning the title of the conference's "star product."

The solar array serves as a vital energy source for satellites in orbit, often likened to the satellite's "energy heart." Its performance is crucial, directly influencing the satellite's operational lifespan and overall efficiency. As a next-generation space energy system, the rolled flexible solar array stands out with its lightweight construction, high packing efficiency, and impressive energy conversion rates. Its innovative design represents a significant leap forward, breaking through existing industry limitations and offering a fresh, efficient solution for satellite energy needs.
