Ninth European Space Power Conference, Saint Raphaël, France
6 June 2011 - 6 June 2011
France
The Ninth European Space Power Conference will take place from 6 to 10 June 2011 in Saint Raphaël, France.
Electrical power subsystems are a core element of any spacecraft. Reliability, functionality and performance have always been the main drivers for the power technology development. However, the cost reduction requirement for some missions makes the exploration of product standardisation possibilities with flexible concepts for using recurrent designs attractive.
Over time, power generation by advanced Gallium-Arsenide technology has become a baseline solution for satellites, and the next generation of solar cells is expected to bring further improvements in costs and performance. Recently, though, lithium ion batteries have become the technology of choice for practically all new spacecraft.
The event will centre on covering all aspects of electrical power for space applications, from power system architecture to generation and storage, to power conversion and power management.For further information, please visit: http://www.espc2011.com/(opens in new window)
