ABSTRACT
Summary:
This project presents the design, implementation, and testing of the Electrical Power System (EPS) for MARMOTSat, a 3U CubeSat developed by the University of Victoria for deployment in a Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO) under the Canadian Space Agency's CUBICS program. A semi-centralized power architecture was developed, utilizing deployable solar arrays, lithium titanate (LTO) batteries, and maximum power point tracking (MPPT) to maximize energy generation. LTO batteries were chosen for their ability to charge at sub-zero temperatures, reducing thermal control complexity. The EPS design also incorporates basic subsystem level protection against radiation induced single event effects (SEE).
