Supply Module flight model
Top view of the PS module after completion of testing and closeout
(mounted on its GSE support frame). The PS consists of a Backbone,
Control assembly and Power MosFet assembly integrated into a single
package containing over 800 electronic parts plus 37 transformers and
magnetic assemblies.
Total power provided is 240 watts divided between 26 outputs. There are 4 independent drive systems operating off of 2 separate MSL power bus circuits. 3 of the main transformers and the control assembly are visible in the middle 2 compartments. The many parts that are above the frame are designed to protrude into the VH module cavity discussed in Photo 4.
