Abstract:

As a cost-effective alternative to traditional satellites, CubeSats have emerged to provide new space experimentation opportunities. The power budgeting of CubeSats is an essential part of the designing process due to the size, weight, and available surface constraints, and hence the total generated power is affected by these constraints. Consequently, there is a considerable need for accurate determination of the received solar irradiation and the required energy storage. This paper presents a study pertinent to CubeSat power budgeting as an Internet of Space provider depending on determining the incident solar irradiation on its sides for Nadir-Orientation Scenario. The electrical power system should guarantee power provision during the CubeSat mission, which typically depends on solar cells conditions such as temperature and irradiation, along with the energy storage system.

I. Introduction

CubeSats, one of the modern trends in space technology, have paved the way for low-cost Low Earth Orbit (LEO)applications over the last two decades. The CubeSats evolution was to provide educational institutes and small enterprises with the opportunity for recognizing space technology via satellites experience and establishing amateur services. The interest in the CubeSat development is in full swing for its low-cost, short construction and development time, and the significantly reduced size. Relatively complex missions can be planned based on CubeSats such as remote sensing [1], discovering unexplored thermosphere around the Earth and obtaining infrared spectral imagery of the upper atmosphere [2], [3], lunar exploration missions [4], tracking space debris and satellites [5], and exploring other planets (Mars)[6].
