する。The electrical connection from the cell surface 1a to the satellite body 3 is relayed by the connector 4. Since there is almost no rotational motion or twisting from the cell surface 1a to the connector 4, a wire (strand) 5 is used, and since the connector 4 to the satellite body 3 is movable, a flexible harness 6 is used.

ハーネス６が受けるストレスはさらに緩和される。That is, since the flexible harness 6b is bent along with the rotation of the panel support rod 2, the flexible harness 6 is not excessively stressed even if the panel support rod 2 is rotated. On the other hand, the panel support rod 2
Since the flexible harnesses 6a and 6c are bent in accordance with the swinging of the flexible harness 7, the flexible harness 7 is not excessively stressed even if the panel support rod 2 swings.
In addition, the portion 6 of the flexible harness 6 that intersects at a right angle
Since d and 6e are formed in a bellows shape, the stress applied to the flexible harness 6 is further relieved.

That is, the flexible harness 8 has only one place where it intersects at a right angle, but even if there is only one place,
It goes without saying that it can be bent three-dimensionally.
