About the Perovskite Contact Board

Perovskite Contact Board is an open source PCB design by Big-Red-Sat, published on GitHub under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 55.2 × 55.2 mm, with 12 components from 8 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the OPA2387, TLV7031DBV, MCP9808_MSOP, CD4012BPWR and LT6654AHS6-3.3. By type, the board carries 7 ICs and 5 capacitors.

It belongs with the science & space, power & battery and sensors designs in this gallery.

From the project

This repository contains the designs for the Big Red Sat-1, a 1U CubeSat examining the performance of perovskite solar cells in low earth orbit.

This repository contains the original designs for the Big Red Sat-1 1U CubeSat, conceived, designed, and launched by a multi-disciplinary team of middle schoolers and high schoolers from the Nebraska public school system, as well as undergraduate students and graduate students from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

The goal of this scientific mission is to characterize the performance and degradation of experimental perovskite solar cells from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory while in low earth orbit. To accomplish this, a custom precision curve tracer was designed along with a…
