ROUTES
ASTROEngineering
possesses expertise in microsatellite power subsystems.
Routes was responsible for the development of the power supply
subsystem for Canada’s SciSat-1 small satellite.
Routes developed the overall power subsystem architecture, and designed
& manufactured the Power Control Unit which provides power bus
regulation, battery charging, and on-board power distribution
functions. Routes AstroEngineering was also responsible for
the specification and subsequent procurement of the satellite battery
and solar panel components.Space-grade
Solar Panels
Routes has the
capability
the design, fabricate, and test
space qualified solar panels using state of the art triple junction
GaAs solar cells. Our detailed power calculations will predict panel
performance at end of life, taking into account degradation from
temperature, radiation, micro-meteoroids, and cycling
fatigue. More

Low Noise Power Supplies
ROUTES ASTROEngineering has extensive experience developing low noise power supplies as part of our development of complex scientific instruments. Without exception, the requirements of the science instruments pushed the envelope for the design of high efficiency, low noise power supplies. Routes AstroEngineering has designed power supplies for scientific instruments flying aboard sounding rockets, small satellites, and International Space Station.
