Abstract
The competitive market of micro and mini satellites opens the space industry to Commercial Of The Shelf (COTS) electronic components. The power electronics used in the Power Conditioning and Distribution Unit was so far designed for a mission and re-used in other missions even though it wasn’t fitted to the new mission need. The use of COTS in the design of new a PCDU allow us to re-think completely the design based on a double aspect: modularity and distribution.
