The unique power requirement of NASA's Galileo Jupiter Probe are most readily met by a Li/SO2 battery; however, because this battery system is not space flight proven, extensive effort was required to qualify this device from the stand point of performance and safety. Due to the rather checkered safety record of the Li/SO2 system, safety has been foremost among the design considerations and has been addressed at the cell, battery and system level. The mission requirements which led to the choice of the Li/SO2 battery and the safety engineering which went into the battery and power system design are described.
Computer methods for collection, reduction, correlation, and analysis of spacecraft nickel-cadmium battery test data
The NASA Aerospace Flight Battery Systems Program task status is reviewed. Major tasks incorporated in the program are battery systems, secondary batteries, and primary batteries.
High capacity nonaqueous secondary battery development - lithium deposition and cycling, ionic solvation, cathode construction and discharge efficiency, and solvent purification
Mars Pathfinder Lander was powered by Ga-As solar cells and a silver-zinc Battery.
In recent years following several spacecraft battery anomalies, it was determined that managing the operational factors of NASA flight NiCd rechargeable battery was very important in order to maintain space flight battery nominal performance. The optimization of existing flight battery operational performance was viewed as something new for a Taguchi Methods application.
