Abstract:
The project is part of the overall Cajun Advanced Picosatellite Experiment (CAPE) effort at University of Louisiana - Lafayette and is designed to test a solar cell/supercapacitor power system for a future cubesat space payload. The charging and discharging of the supercapacitor will be studied for high (1 A) and low (100 mA) currents at high altitude to determine the overall efficiency and general performance of the system.
