The PCB of RE²PS [1] was designed to be more reliable than previous EPS models developed by SpaceLab. To achieve this, ECSS standards for PCB development in space environments were tailored for the project [2]. Some flexibility was applied in selecting new connectors for interfacing with other modules, but whenever possible, previously used connectors, such as Pico-Locks and PicoBlades, were chosen.
sources: Main files of the RE²PS's hardware project.
outputs: Output files, such as figures of the RE²PS's PCB, schematics, BOM and more.
This project is open-source under the following license: CERN Open Hardware License v2.0.
Releases are published after ensuring that the project itself do not have any major errors and after testing the PCB. Please refer to the documentation for more details.
