1. Leonidas

2. What is Leonidas?
Group of Students and Faculty developing micro-satellites
~ 30kg satellites
We are creating a bus that can be reused as a imaging and communications satellite.

3. The Team Mentor: Lloyd French Team: Zachary Lee Aukai Kent
Worked at JPL for 15yrs.
Gallileo Mission

Team:
Zachary Lee ME
Role: Systems Leader/ACS
Aukai Kent
Role: Instruments/Payload
Dennis Dugay EE
Role: Communications
Matthew Patterson
Role: Power Analysis/Subsystem, Structure

4. Approach
Main approach is to come up with a creative, efficient, and cheap way to fabricate satellites.
Idea: Plug and Play
My Job: Come up with a Power source for our satellite using Plug and Play.
Solar Cells
Batteries
Find a Power source compatible with Satellite
-Efficiency Cost Life Structure

5. Problems Choices The Cost Getting Enough Power from Source/ Efficiency
Surface Area and Batteries
Compatibility
Reality

6. Goals
Find a Power Source that satisfies the entire satellite and problems
Finish AFRL proposal
Get approved to start working on the fabrication of our satellite

7. Schedule -Sept 19 ~ List of Power Requirements
-Oct 1 ~ Solar Cells chosen
-Oct 14 ~ Peak Power found/meets Power given
-Oct 21 ~ Start on proposal
-Nov 12 ~ Power Layout finalized
-Dec 1 ~ Mail out AFRL proposal
