Fox-2 MPPT Team Selected In TI Design Contest
AMSAT sponsored a senior design project at the Rochester Institute
of Technology this academic year.
The students included senior EE majors:
Bryce Salmi KB1LQC
Brent Salmi KB1LQD
Ian MacKenzie KB3OCF
and Dan Corriero.
The project was to develop an MPPT circuit that could be used on a
future Fox-2 (3U) CubeSat. The students completed a working prototype
which was on display in our engineering booth at Dayton last month.
With my agreement and encouragement, the students entered this
project into Texas Instruments’ 2013 Analog Design Contest for
university students.

I am happy to pass along the great news that the AMSAT MPPT project
was selected as one of the top 10 semi-finalists and the students
were invited on an all-expenses paid trip to TI’s contest summit to
be held July 21-23 in Dallas where the final winners will be
announced.
Congratulations to the Fox-2 MPPT team!
