Power System for the ALEXIS Satellite

ALEXIS is a 250 Ibm satellite being built for the Department of Energy through Los Alamos National Laboratory. Its primary payload is an array of low energy x-ray telescopes. ALEXIS will be a sun pointer with a daily averaged power draw of 57 W. The ALEXIS power system provides electrical power for the operation of the various satellite subsystems including payloads, guidance and control systems, and telemetry systems. The goal of the ALEXIS power system is to provide efficient power regulation with low mass, low cost and reasonable reliability.

Abstract

ALEXIS is a 250 Ibm satellite being built for the Department of Energy through Los Alamos National Laboratory. Its primary payload is an array of low energy x-ray telescopes. ALEXIS will be a sun pointer with a daily averaged power draw of 57 W. The ALEXIS power system provides electrical power for the operation of the various satellite subsystems including payloads, guidance and control systems, and telemetry systems. The goal of the ALEXIS power system is to provide efficient power regulation with low mass, low cost and reasonable reliability.
