Research abstract
No vendor has yet to provide a radiation tolerant, high efficiency, small Power Management and Distribution module for the SmallSat and CubeSat market yet. Let alone one with built in batteries. That is where ExoTerra's mission ready Universal Power Storage, Management, And Distribution comes in. Offering nine different voltage rails, each with multiple switched outputs, and an attached thermally moderated 40Whr Lithium Ion battery pack, all packaged in a CubeSat standard PC104 electronics form factor. Its highly modular nature and inherent radiation tolerance will allow it to be used in a multitude of missions right off of the shelf.
