Abstract

The power supply system in the Telstar spacecraft consists of a solar cell plant to convert solar radiation to electrical energy when the satellite is illuminated by the sun, a 19-cell nickel-cadmium battery to store energy, and a regulation circuit to supply constant output voltages over a wide variation in input voltages. Additionally, the power supply system provides switching to conserve power and allow battery recharging during periods between communications experiments.
