CONCEPTUAL DESIGN REVIEW
Mission Overview
Objective
To conduct further research on Space Based Solar Cells
To compare the efficiency of different types of solar
cells at different altitudes
What we expect to discover
The effect that different altitudes have on solar panels
Radiation
Why we’re doing the mission
Space Based Solar Power
Which type of solar cell is better
Technical Overview And Parts
Solar panel groups on each side and top
Monocrystalline
Polycrystalline
Light to Frequency Converter
Analog to Digital Converter
16 Channel
Allow data to be split
Resistors create load for solar panel
Allow us to read power
Technical Overview And Parts
Satellite Shape/Solar Cells
House shaped (a pyramid on top of a cube)
Solar cells on top sides
Light to Frequency Converter
Easily converts visual light to frequency
Reads intensity of light
One on each side

Worries and Testing
Biggest Worries…
One of our biggest worries is that our solar cells will
get destroyed
Our solar cells won’t work and will cause certain other
systems to not work (loss of data)
Testing
Drop test
Solar test
Stair (kick) test
Whip test
Imaging test
Freeze test
