The purpose of the development is to create measuring equipment for monitoring the parameters of solar panels on board small CubeSat spacecraft, providing accurate removal of voltage characteristics, registration of temperature and illumination data, as well as their primary processing for transmission to the control center. The purpose of the presented work is to develop a load device circuit. This goal has determined the need to set and solve the main tasks: 1. To develop an electrical circuit of measuring equipment, including the selection of suitable components and their integration into a single system. 2. To ensure the stabilization of measurement parameters using corrective devices and interference suppression circuits. 3. Implement a power supply system that provides the necessary voltage level for digital and analog elements while minimizing ripples. 4. Select and integrate a microcontroller capable of performing measurement, control and data transmission functions via the on-board CAN bus
