[pacsat] Power Thoughts

Group,

Power requirments is something we need to be looking at carefully.

I found this on the web:

https://pressbooks-dev.oer.hawaii.edu/epet302/chapter/5-5-power-generation/

We can look at some data from other cubsats for power generation. Reviewing Falconsat-3 telemetry would be a good idea.

Power and thermal design will play off each other.

With a 2.5 W power budget for a cubsat the pacsat payload could be a large power consumer. May effect ability to get onboard.

If Golf T had two of the TMS520 one must have been powered down until needed?

Designing for minimum power will yield more operating time and a longer mission life. Falconsat-3 is demonstrating this point now.
