Blue Canyon Technologies proposes to extend small spacecraft utility by designing and developing high-voltage, high-power solar array bus regulator componentry so that current microsat power architectures can take advantage of power systems in the 1000-2000 watt power range. This effort includes holistic critical system design, box-level system design, and mechanical accommodation for a flight-ready 2000 watt-class solar array. An engineering development unit bus regulator will be designed, built, and tested. A flight mechanical interface will be designed, built and tested. Performance of the electrical and mechanical systems will be analyzed and tested.
