Regression analysis of cycle life data for long life 20 ampere hour sealed nickel cadmium battery
A general discussion of the battery requirements for the Galileo probe is presented. Problems arising from mission changes are emphasized.
Explore the source record for details and available documents.
Viewgraphs on the battery study for the Mars Environmental Survey (MESUR) Pathfinder are presented. Topics covered include: MESUR pathfinder introduction; power subsystem concept; battery technology selection; mission battery performance; cell/battery baseline design; charge methodology; and proposed testing.
The design features of the tracking and data relay satellite system battery are described. Some of the life cycle tests performed on the battery are reported.
Life cycle testing on a battery is reported. The cells were built in 1975, put into battery in 1976, and flown in 1977 in low Earth orbit.
Empirical formula represents performance of electrical storage batteries. Formula covers many battery types and includes numerous coefficients adjusted to fit peculiarities of each type. Battery and load parameters taken into account include power density in battery, discharge time, and electrolyte temperature. Applications include electric-vehicle "fuel" gages and powerline load leveling.
Membrane and absorber screening tests for alkaline battery separators
The setup and testing of battery systems are described. Basic control mode, basic block diagrams and circuitry are given.

Features of the first operational nickel hydrogen battery are described as well as experiences encountered during its testing and installation. Battery performance since launching of the NTS-2 satellite is discussed.
The battery was a three ampere hour nickel cadmium prismatic cell. The battery consists of 20 cells connected in series and there were two batteries per spacecraft. The battery operations (voltage and temperature) that the spacecraft sees during a normal operational day are discussed.
Ethylene/methyl acrylate copolymer synthesis for silver-zinc battery separators
Nonmagnetic hermetically sealed battery case made of epoxy resin and woven glass tape for use with electrochemical cells in spacecraft
Power is essential for crewed and uncrewed spaceflight operations. Spacecraft batteries are designed and tested to be safe under extreme environmental conditions.
Method of constructing nickel cadmium batteries prevents excessive gas buildup and allows hermetic sealing of battery for increased service life and reduced maintenance cost.
Rechargeable high energy density battery based on aluminum and chlorine carbon electrodes and molten aluminum chloride-alkali chloride eutectic as electrolyte
This document provides guidelines on probable climatic extremes and probabilities-of-occurrence of terrestrial environment data specifically applicable for NASA space vehicles and associated equipment development. The geographic areas encompassed are The Eastern Test Range (Cape Kennedy, Florida); Huntsville, Alabama; New Orleans, Louisiana; The Space and Missile Test Center (Vandenberg AFB California); Sacramento, California; Wallops Test Range (Wallops Island, Virginia); White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico; and intermediate transportation areas. In addition, sections have been included to provide information on the general distribution of natural environment extremes in the United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii), cloud cover, and some worldwide climatic extremes. Although all these areas are covered, the major emphasis is given to the Kennedy Space Center launch area and Vandenburg Air Force Base due to importance in NASA's future large space vehicle programs. This document presents the latest available information on probable climatic extremes, and supersedes information presented in TM X-64589. The information in this document is recommended for employment in the development of space vehicles and associated equipment design and operational criteria, unless otherwise stated in contract work specifications.
