From the project

A robust, high-reliability Electrical Power System (EPS) designed for a 1U/2U CubeSat architecture. This subsystem handles voltage regulation, dual-rail power distribution, and high-side power switching to ensure stable power delivery to the onboard computer (OBC) and mission pay

A robust, high-reliability Electrical Power System (EPS) designed for a 1U/2U CubeSat architecture. This subsystem handles voltage regulation, dual-rail power distribution, and high-side power switching to ensure stable power delivery to the onboard computer (OBC) and mission payloads under varying battery conditions.

The EPS manages power distribution by stepping down raw battery voltage into stable DC rails and utilizes logic-level switching for autonomous payload isolation.
