Description

Leveraging Tyvak personnel?s extensive experience in end-to-end technology development cycles, we propose to design, fabricate and qualify an EPS system targeting 50 to 100W orbit average power. Fitting within a 6U or smaller envelope, this fault-tolerant electrical power system will integrate mission-configurable deployable solar arrays; ultra-efficient, low-noise peak power energy transfer circuitry; high capacity, high cycle and high power capable energy storage; and high-efficiency power regulation & distribution circuitry. The Phase-I Option of this effort will involve the design and analysis of these systems adhering to a development philosophy of modularity, scalability and testability.
