SMM parallel battery operation in orbit

A parallel battery system for the SMM spacecraft is described. The battery system performance as a function of lifetime over orbit was evaluated. The following equipment performance specifications were examined during a typical orbit: battery current and discharges, voltage limitations, battery temperature variations, and current sensor performance. Tabulated battery performance data is also included.

Battery Passivation – What NASA needs you to know

This presentation provides information on battery passivation of spacecraft at the end of mission (EOM) life. The goal of battery passivation is to tackle the growing problem of orbital debris and its impact on space sustainability. NASA is increasingly using commercially produced buses in NASA missions, and this presentation provides information on EOM spacecraft passivation for NASA missions.

Battery system and method for sensing and balancing the charge state of battery cells

A battery system utilizes a plurality of transformers interconnected with the battery cells. The transformers each have at least one transformer core operable for magnetization in at least a first magnetic state with a magnetic flux in a first direction and a second magnetic state with a magnetic flux in a second direction. The transformer cores retain the first magnetic state and the second magnetic state without current flow through said plurality of transformers. Circuitry is utilized for switching a selected transformer core between the first and second magnetic states to sense voltage and/or balance particular cells or particular banks of cells.
