LDEF materials overview

The flight and retrieval of the LDEF provided an opportunity for the study of the low earth orbit (LEO) environment and long-duration space environmental effects (SEE) on materials that is unparalleled in the history of the US space program. The 5-year, 9-month flight of the LDEF greatly enhanced the potential value of all materials on the LDEF to the international SEE community, compared to that of the original 1-year flight plan. The remarkable flight attitude stability of the LDEF enables specific analyses of various individual and combined effects of LEO environmental parameters on identical materials on the same vehicle. NASA recognized this potential by forming the LDEF Space Environmental Effects on Materials Special Investigation Group (MSIG) to address the greatly expanded materials and LEO space environment parameter analysis opportunities available in the LDEF structure, experiment trays, and corollary measurements, so that the combined value of all LDEF materials data to current and future space missions are addressed and documented. This presentation provides an overview of the interim LDEF materials findings of the principal investigators and the MSIG.

An averaging battery model for a lead-acid battery operating in an electric car

A battery model is developed based on time averaging the current or power, and is shown to be an effective means of predicting the performance of a lead acid battery. The effectiveness of this battery model was tested on battery discharge profiles expected during the operation of an electric vehicle following the various SAE J227a driving schedules. The averaging model predicts the performance of a battery that is periodically charged (regenerated) if the regeneration energy is assumed to be converted to retrievable electrochemical energy on a one-to-one basis.
