Yes. Both 5V, high-power and 9V external table-top power supplies are included for use witheach CubeSat Kit. The 9V supply is used to power the Development Board. The 5V supply can power the Development Board and can also power an assembled CubeSat through the external power connector. It is up to you to design your own internal power system for your CubeSat. This will normally involve solar cells and/or batteries, and may require outputs at multiple voltages (e.g. +3.3V and +5V). CubeSat power supplies are normally tailored to the CubeSat’s payload and processor(s).
