The Pluto Express power system must answer the challenge of the next generation spacecraft by reducing its power, mass, and volume envelopes. Technology developed by the New Millennium Program will enable the power system to meet the stringent requirements for the Pluto Express mission without exceeding the spacecraft mass and volume budgets.
This paper states the requirements for, describes the overall architecture of, and identifies the future work involved in developing the DS1 Testbed spacecraft simulation.
