Benefits
Modular System Architecture
Terma Power Management and Distribution (PMAD) system is designed for reliability in both deep space, Geostationary- and Earth orbit missions. Its modular concept has been tested and proven in actual flight conditions, ensuring robust performance.
Enhanced Power Efficiency
The system is engineered to maximize power efficiency and utilization specifically for satellite missions. This feature helps in reducing energy waste and improving overall system effectiveness.
Advanced Power Technology
Utilizing the latest state-of-the-art power technology, the PMAD system offers enhanced reliability and an improved power-to-weight performance. This results in a lighter, yet more powerful system suitable for a variety of mission profiles.
Low Mass
The incorporation of high frequency switched-mode power conversion technology minimizes the unit's mass, making it ideal for space applications where every kilogram matters.
Scalable Power Capacity
Capable of scaling up to a power capacity of 15 kW, our system accommodates a range of power requirements. This scalability ensures that the system can be tailored to meet the specific demands of different satellite missions.
Comprehensive Power System Functions
The PMAD system includes all classical applied power system functions. It offers failure-tolerant regulated and unregulated bus systems at 28V, 50V, and 100V, with options for Sequential Shunt Switching regulation or Maximum Power Point Tracking, enhancing its adaptability and reliability in various operational scenarios.
EXPERTISE IS KEY TO SUCCESSFUL MISSIONS
Terma has been a key player in the development and manufacturing of electronic units for space missions for over five decades. These missions include several European Space Agency (ESA) missions such as XMM-Newton, Integral, Rosetta, Mars Express, Venus Express, BepiColombo, Euclid, PLATO and number of military classified missions. Terma's expertise in development and manufacturing spacecraft power systems has been critical to the success of these missions.
