Sensor board
About the Sensor board
Sensor board is an open source PCB design by oresat, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 41.1 × 32 mm, with 18 components from 11 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the NE5532. By type, the board carries 6 test points, 5 resistors, 3 capacitors, 2 connectors, 1 IC and 1 diode.
It belongs with the power & battery and sensors designs in this gallery.
From the project
Solar simulator for our 1U solar panels
The hardware repository for our solar simulator for testing OreSat 1U solar panels
The OreSat Solar Simulator is a benchtop simulator for hardware-in-the-loop testing of CubeSat solar modules. It uses LED and halogen light bulbs to emit light that simulates the sun's solar spectrum in low Earth orbit (Air Mass 0 or 'AM0').
The work for this was done as an MCECS Capstone Project from January to June of 2023 by Bendjy Faurestal, Adam Martinez, Cesar Ordaz-Coronel, and Charles Nasser. Andrew Greenberg was both representing PSAS as the Industry Sponsor and the Faculty Advisor to the students.
