Modular Power Management System for High-Performance Satellites
Technology description
Spherical System’s power management system features modular circuit boards equipped with custom microchips to provide unparalleled performance in power regulation and distribution. The system ensures efficient power conversion and radiation tolerance, making it suitable for satellite missions requiring high reliability and scalability. Key features include: high power capability (supports satellite systems with power loads exceeding 5 kW, surpassing industry standards); modular design (circuit boards can be configured to meet specific mission needs, allowing for rapid customisation and easy scaling); radiation hardening (protects the system from radiation-induced failures, ensuring reliability in MEO, GEO, and lunar orbits); and software configurability (enables quick system reconfiguration through software, reducing modification time from 12 months to 1 month). Applications range from Earth observation satellites to deep-space missions, offering significant advantages in power efficiency, system adaptability and overall mission success.
