A Preliminary Design Review is being scheduled \nin mid-November with the AMSAT Engineering Team.\n\n- Identified Design Changes Needing to Occur for NextGen:\n* Replace Battery with modular stacks of Supercapacitors in parallel to \nthe Solar Panels\n* Shrink ICB (Interconnect Board) to fit within CubeSat frame\n* Reduce PSU footprint by moving camera power function to a Camera \nPayload Board (CPB)\n* Slight PSU voltage supply design change\n* Remove test/program load functionality from ICB to external test board \n(XTB) via standard CubeSat & PPOD maintenance ports (per CubeSat spec.)\n\n\nWe are still on-target to have an engineering model ready for the AMSAT \ntable at the 2010 Dayton Hamvention with readiness for launch later in 2010.\n\n\nAlex Harvilchuck, N3NP\nNextGen Program Manager\n\n", "attachments": [] }
