Book excerpt: The Naval Postgraduate School Solar Cell Array Tester (NPS-SCAT) seeks to expand the CubeSat knowledge base and provide learning possibilities at the Naval Postgraduate School. This thesis discusses the design, testing, and integration of the electrical power sub-system for NPS-SCAT. The current design will be powered by a commercial-off-the-shelf power system developed by Clyde Space systems. Solar power generation will be via Spectrolab's improved triple junction solar cells. Satellite Tool Kit (STK) was used to approximate the expected power generation and communication periods while on orbit. The design, building and integration and testing of the solar panels using NuSil adhesive tape will also be discussed. Finally, the operational limits imposed on SCAT operations due to load and power generation capabilities of the electrical power system will also be discussed.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The electrical power subsystem is one of the most important elements of any satellite. This system must provide the necessary power to enable the payload and other subsystems to perform their functions. Once spacecraft requirements are determined and an electrical power subsystem is chosen; extensive testing is required to ensure power subsystem performance. Testing of CubeSat Kit compatible power systems is especially difficult due to the inaccessibility of test points. This thesis concerns itself with the role that power and, in particular, power budgets play in very small satellites. As a practical application to facilitate power budget analysis of CubeSat Kit compatible CubeSats, a testing platform has been designed and built. Data from NPS-SCAT electrical power subsystem and other subsystems have been measured and the NPS-SCAT power budget analyzed and simulated.

Book excerpt: The Naval Postgraduate School's first CubeSat, the NPS Solar Cell Array Tester (NPS-SCAT), demonstrates the capability of the CubeSat form factor as a technology test bed by implementing a single experiment--a solar cell tester. The need to validate solar cell performance on orbit, in the harsh space environment, is recurring with the continued development of advanced, untested solar cells. By using a relatively inexpensive platform, the CubeSat, such solar cells can be tested and the risk for larger satellites mitigated with this experiment. This thesis discusses the design and construction process of the solar cell array tester payload along with its integration with the remaining satellite subsystems (command and data handling subsystem, communications subsystem, and electrical power subsystem) including the problems encountered along the way and the chosen solutions. In addition, the systems engineering and testing procedures developed for and conducted on the satellite engineering design unit will be described in detail.

This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A natural history and celebration of the famous bears and salmon of Brooks River. On the Alaska Peninsula, where exceptional landscapes are commonplace, a small river attracts attention far beyond its scale. Each year, from summer to early fall, brown bears and salmon gather at Brooks River to create one of North America’s greatest wildlife spectacles. As the salmon leap from the cascade, dozens of bears are there to catch them (with as many as forty-three bears sighted in a single day), and thousands of people come to watch in person or on the National Park Service’s popular Brooks Falls Bearcam. The Bears of Brooks Falls tells the story of this region and the bears that made it famous in three parts. The first forms an ecological history of the region, from its dormancy 30,000 years ago to the volcanic events that transformed it into the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. The central and longest section is a deep dive into the lives of the wildlife along the Brooks River, especially the bears and salmon. Readers will learn about the bears’ winter hibernation, mating season, hunting rituals, migration patterns, and their relationship with Alaska’s changing environment. Finally, the book explores the human impact, both positive and negative, on this special region and its wild population.
