NASA/MSFC has a requirement for a CubeSat Power System. Andrews Space, Inc., is the only vendor with a CubeSat form factor power system that meets the requirements of the system under development here at NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center. Only the Cortex 130 is rated for 15kRad total ionizing dose (TID) radiation and has sufficient power outputs. No other power system card has been found to be compatible with the system under development.
