As the spring term gets underway, the team‘s work is concentrated on the building of a prototype of an MPPT solar array regulation system and computer simulation of various mechanical aspects of the EPS design.

The EPS team arrived back in the lab today, and our immediate priority was to finalise the project poster, which will be due tomorrow. The project poster summarises everything the we have achieved so far this year, and all that we hope to achieve before June. Initial feedback has suggested a well designed poster that clearly illustrates a variety of technical work, along with appropriate credit to all of our sponsors.

The project poster for this year may be viewed online in pdf format here: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/eng/meng/esmo/news/posters/

One of our team members: Ben Donnellan recently attended a workshop held at ESTEC, ESA's technical  headquarters in the Netherlands. He worked with ESA experts in satellite power systems, and members of other university teams working on ESMO to further the design of ESMO.
