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
