45. Satellite Solar Array Shunt System
An older satellite is currently experiencing battery charging irregularities, so it was decided to build a breadboard of the original shunt electronics in order to understand the performance and test for vulnerabilities. It proved very useful to use the operational breadboard to validate the model. It is surprising to discover how many older parts can be found in strange internet-connected places.
