[0002] A microsatellite (NanoSat) generally refers to a satellite with a mass less than 10 kg and practical functions. With the development of high-tech and the driving of demands, microsatellites, with the advantages of small volume, low power consumption, short development cycle, ability to form formation networks, and the ability to complete many complex space missions at a lower cost, play an important role in scientific research, national defense, commercial and other fields.
[0003] In the prior art, the power sub-systems of microsatellites mostly adopt the method of separately designing, manufacturing and installing components such as PCU (Power Control Unit), PDU (Power Distribution Unit), battery packs, and cables; and even in some designs, components such as BCR (Battery Charging Regulator) and BDR (Battery Discharging Regulator) are split out from the PCU. For the limited internal space of microsatellites, such a separated design has a series of problems such as large space occupation, low space utilization rate, long and complex wiring between components; on the other hand, it also increases the overall mass of the power sub-system, thus increasing the mass of the whole satellite and causing an increase in satellite launch costs.
