Autonomous Electrical Power Systems for Spacecraft
Developing Labyrinth EPS, a new class of spacecraft power architecture capable of detecting electrical faults, isolating failing components, and autonomously reconfiguring power pathways to preserve mission operation
Labyrinth EPS
Labyrinth EPS introduces an autonomous spacecraft electrical power architecture designed to actively monitor and manage spacecraft electrical systems.
Instead of relying on static power routing, Labyrinth EPS incorporates an intelligent switching network controlled by deterministic hardware logic.
This system continuously monitors electrical conditions across the spacecraft and can autonomously respond to abnormal behaviour.
When a fault condition is detected, the system can isolate failing components and reconfigure electrical pathways to maintain spacecraft operation.
Autonomous Fault Containment
Labyrinth EPS continuously monitors electrical conditions across spacecraft power systems. When abnormal behaviour is detected, the system can automatically isolate failing components to prevent faults from spreading. Because this process is implemented at hardware level, faults can be contained rapidly without relying on flight software.
Adaptive Power Routing
Labyrinth EPS allows electrical power pathways within the spacecraft to be reconfigured in response to system conditions. If a regulator or power distribution component fails, the system can reroute power through alternative pathways where available. This capability allows spacecraft to continue operating even after certain power system failures.
Intelligent Payload Protection
High-power payloads such as RF transmitters can create large electrical surges that destabilise spacecraft power systems. Labyrinth EPS monitors these conditions and stabilises power delivery to prevent voltage collapse or brownouts. This ensures high-power payloads can operate safely without disrupting other spacecraft systems.
Our Mission
Daedalus Systems is developing autonomous electrical infrastructure designed to improve the resilience and reliability of modern spacecraft. Through the development of Labyrinth EPS, we aim to transform spacecraft power systems from passive distribution hardware into intelligent systems capable of protecting missions and adapting to unexpected conditions.
Expanding Space Industry
The space industry is growing rapidly, with thousands of satellites expected to launch over the next decade. As spacecraft become more complex and power intensive, demand is increasing for electrical systems capable of supporting high-power payloads and long-duration missions.
Enabling Next-Generation Missions
Modern spacecraft rely on increasingly demanding electrical systems, from telecommunications payloads to scientific instruments and propulsion technologies. Labyrinth EPS is designed to support these missions by providing more resilient and adaptive spacecraft power infrastructure.
Protecting Mission-Critical Systems
Electrical faults remain a major source of spacecraft anomalies. Labyrinth EPS introduces autonomous fault containment and adaptive power management designed to protect critical spacecraft systems and preserve mission operation.
Applications
Telecommunications Satellites
Modern telecommunications satellites rely on high-power RF transmitters and complex payload systems that place significant demands on spacecraft electrical infrastructure. Labyrinth EPS is designed to stabilise power delivery during high-power operation, protect critical communication payloads, and maintain system stability during electrical disturbances.
Satellite Constellations
Large satellite constellations require highly reliable spacecraft systems to minimise operational risk across thousands of deployed satellites. Labyrinth EPS introduces autonomous fault containment and adaptive power management that can improve spacecraft survivability and reduce mission losses within large satellite networks.
Scientific and High-Power Missions
Scientific spacecraft, radar payloads, and propulsion systems often introduce complex and demanding electrical requirements. Labyrinth EPS provides resilient power infrastructure capable of supporting sensitive instruments and high-power subsystems while protecting the spacecraft from electrical faults and instability.
