Agenda

• Richard Dias (PM) Intro, ESP, Battery
• Cedric HW Systems
• Mya Solar Arrays
• Cory SW Systems
• Adam Mechanical Systems
• Philip Antennas
• Hannah GUI Design

Electronic Power System

• Current Status
• Rev 1
• Non-Functional
• Major Bugs Identified
• Just received electronic copy of schematics
  (OrCAD).
• Colombian EPS Board Functional
• KatySat design used as reference
• Actions
• Rev 2
• Re-evaluate requirements from sub-systems
• Awaiting copy of Colombian schematics for
  comparison
• Identify Battery

Battery

• Current Status
• Battery Selection Critical
• SuitSat - Speculated batteries failed due to
  cold.
• Re-Verifying Power Requirements
• Identify needs of each sub-system
• Investigate Heritage Battery Usage
• Identify battery technologies used on successful
  and failed missions.
• New Battery Search
• Identify new batteries i.e. SAFT Battery Operates
  60 to 120C

KatySat Seeks Feedback

• What do you think?
• If you were a high/middle school student would
  you want KatySat to be a part of your
  math/science class?
• Would you want your kids (future scientists) to
  have a fun and exciting learning environment ?
