Remote activated silver zinc battery performance
The following topics are presented in viewgraph format: Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) mission background; battery background and specifications; cell history; battery mechanical/structural design; battery test data; and flowcharts of the various battery approval procedures.
The proceedings of the 1975 Goddard Space Flight Center Battery Workshop are presented. The major topics of discussion were nickel cadmium batteries and, to a lesser extent, nickel hydrogen batteries. Battery design, manufacturing techniques, testing programs, and electrochemical characteristics were considered. The utilization of these batteries for spacecraft power supplies was given particular attention.
Polyphenylene oxide case and cover mechanical properties determination, and component reliability tests for silver-zinc battery with inorganic separators
This presentation summarizes in-house testing performed at NASA’s Glenn Research Center on silicon anode cells for a new electric aircraft battery design funded by the Transformational Tools & Technologies (TTT) task of the Transformative Aeronautics Concept Program.
Biosatellite fuel cell/battery power system
Sealed electric storage battery with gas manifold interconnecting each cell
Secondary electrochemical battery has been developed which has high energy/ weight density. Battery is rechargeable and works on reaction between hydrogen and bromine.
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.
A viewgraph presentation outlines the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) power system and battery history. ERBS spacecraft and battery cell failures are listed with the reasons for failure. The battery management decision and stabilization of the batteries is discussed. Present battery operations are shown to be successful.
Bipolar batteries fabricated in continuous quasi-automated process. Components of battery configured so processing steps run sequentially. Key components of battery, bipolar plate and bipolar separator, fabricated separately and later joined together.
Contents include the following: (1) mission requirements; (2) battery design features; (3) battery operational overview; (4) battery performance; and (5) summary and conclusions.
High energy density battery based on aluminum and chlorine carbon electrodes
The following topics are covered in viewgraph format: Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite (CRRES) orbit parameters; battery charge control; battery description; battery current and voltage output during one orbit; and battery reconditioning discharge profile.
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.
