ABSTRACT:
There is provided a power system for a spacecraft that includes a plurality of electrical loads. The power system comprises N segmented solar array panels. Each of the N segmented solar array panels comprises Y solar array segments. The power system also comprises a plurality of power source blocks, each of which includes a respective one of the Y solar array segments of a respective one of the N segmented solar array panels. The Y solar array segments receive solar energy and provide electrical energy as outputs of respective ones of the power source blocks. The power system further comprises at least one switch which is controllable for coupling electrical energy output by individual ones of the power source blocks to selected individual ones of the electrical loads.
