EPS Board
WHY EPS Board ?!
Electrical power subsystem supplies power to the rest of
subsystems of satellite including periods of eclipse that
doesn’t generate power.
It generates, stores, Control and distributes a satellites
electrical power.
EPS is the most important subsystem in the satellite. Any
failure in the EPS the satellite won’t work.
EPS is heavy and expensive subsystem. It is often about 25%
of the weight and 25% of the cost.
