At that size, we can fit about 200 in a 1U\nCubeSat (stacked 3x3x22). We're pretty sure we can thin that down a\nlittle more by using thinner PCBs. If we get way more than 200, we\ncan always go to a 2U or 3U CubeSat.\n\nWhat I'd really like to do, however, if we can get enough sponsors, is\nto make a custom ASIC. If we can make custom silicon, we can get the\nsize and the price way down. This may not be realistic this time\naround, but it is something I really want to pursue if I can get the\nmoney.\n\nAs far as power, the Sprites are around 10 mW, and yes, they need\nsolar power, so they won't operate through eclipse. They do, however\nhave a bank of capacitors to buffer the power coming out of the solar\ncells, so tumbling won't be a problem.\n\nThanks,\nZac\n", "attachments": [] }
