The AstroBio CubeSat has spent most of its operational life within the Van Allen belts, flying in a circular orbit at an altitude of 5900 km with an inclination of 70 degrees. In this work we describe the design and in-flight operation of the Electrical Power System which has guaranteed the required resilience to that specific operating environment while using only COTS components. It also provided in-flight validation of the new End-Of-Life-optimized solar cells produced by CESI.

Abstract
The AstroBio CubeSat has spent most of its operational life within the Van Allen belts, flying in a circular orbit at an altitude of 5900 km with an inclination of 70 degrees. In this work we describe the design and in-flight operation of the Electrical Power System which has guaranteed the required resilience to that specific operating environment while using only COTS components. It also provided in-flight validation of the new End-Of-Life-optimized solar cells produced by CESI.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
