OreSat solar array designs and CAD
This repo contains the CAD for OreSat's solar modules. Part of OreSat's design is a module bus system that spans 1 - 3 U, so each array is its own 1U "panel". Oresat0, a 1U CubeSat, thus has 4 solar modules, and OreSat1, a 2U CubeSat, has 8. This approach has pretty severe drawbacks in terms of solar cell coverage area, but it's extremely flexible for having one design across a bunch of different designs. One nifty part of this design is that each 1u panel has its own true maximum power point tracker, with a software-defined MPPT algorithm. We're MPPT elitists - we eschew maximum power point…
