Goodrich's Space Flight Systems (SFS) designed StarPower for
line conditioning and power condition monitoring of power
circuitry for solar array based satellites. The system has been
refined for applications for high volume satellite production,
where cost concerns must be addressed due to limited funding per
satellite, without sacrificing quality, reliability, and features
that allow diagnostics of the health of the satellite’s power
system.
