The University of Alabama in Huntsville Students for the Exploration and Development of Space, in cooperation with the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Boeing Defense & Space, and the Kopin Corporation, are designing an advanced electrical power system for a small satellite. This system incorporates recent advances in three areas: photovoltaic cell design, battery energy storage design, and DC·DC power conversion technology. Introducing these advances into a flight power system will produce a satellite power system with double the capability of similar systems utilizing current technology. |
