The invention provides a separation self power on and battery protection method applied to a micro /
nano satellite. The
satellite can be kept in a power-off state during a
satellite launching process, and the
energy loss of the battery is reduced, and after the
satellite and a
loader are separated, a separation switch is on, a
battery pack is automatically connected onto a power supply
bus, and power is provided for the satellite load. The separation switch only controls the gate of an MOS
transistor as a discharging switch, the passing current is small, and a
derating design does not need to be considered; due to a necessary redundancy design, a risk that connection between the
battery pack and the power supply
bus is broken due to failure of the separation switch during the in-
orbit operation period of the satellite can be prevented. Over charging and over discharging protection functions are provided, the
battery pack can only perform charging but not discharging after over discharging protection happens to the satellite, and after the
voltage rises to a certain value, the battery can be reconnected onto the power supply
bus for providing power for the load through
software control. The method of the invention is simple and reliable, self power on work after the satellite and the
loader are separated can be realized, and
energy loss in the transmission section is reduced.
