Development of battery with lithium-magnesium alloy anode, molten cuprous chloride cathode, and zeolite separator cells and cupric oxide cathode and porous glass separator cells
The following topics are presented in viewgraph form and include the following: the MSFC Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Nickel-Hydrogen Battery Contract; HST battery design requirements; HST nickel-hydrogen battery development; HST nickel-hydrogen battery module; HST NiH2 battery module hardware; pressure vessel design; HST NiH2 cell design; offset non-opposing vs. rabbit ear cell; HST NiH2 specified capacity; HST NiH2 battery design; and HST NiH2 module design.
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.
