Description
The Space Power System standard is an emerging standard for space power systems being developed by NASA and industry in both the USA and the UK [1]. This paper first introduces the Space Power System standard explaining the rationale behind the standard. It then outlines the architecture of the Space Power System and details its various functional components, the power modules, which include power sources, energy stores, power converters, and power switches. The behaviors of the various power modules are then considered. Finally, the way in which the power modules are connected using power channels, power interfaces, power links, and buses, is addressed.
