MESAT1 is a CubeSat that was proposed by the University of Maine in response to NASA's CubeSat Launch Initiative, and in early 2020 was selected by NASA to fly aboard a NASA rocket in 2023. One of the most important factors in prolonging the lifetime of a CubeSat satellite is the design and implementation of an electrical power subsystem (EPS). The EPS is a microprocessor-based device that tracks and controls power generation, control, and distribution for all subsystems and payloads of the spacecraft. This study is the design, building, and testing of a low-cost EPS system that will safely and efficiently power the MESAT1 for the entire duration of the mission.
