A battery performance simulation for the Magellan mission to Venus has been operating at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for nearly three years. The unique operational requirements for the Magellan batteries and the test system constructed to simulate them are described. Simulation results to date are presented and compared with actual spacecraft battery performance. Recommendations for planning of future mission simulation tests are provided.
As a part of the long-range planning of future Mars and lunar missions, a feasibility study was made of a 34-m antenna system with differentially pointed multiple beams. The performance loss mechanisms of the differentially pointed multiple-beam systems were identified and quantified. Techniques that can significantly improve the multiple-beam system performance are identified. The goal is to determine the feasibility of using the 34-m antenna to support widely separated elements associated with lunar missions.

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) original Nickel-Hydrogen (NiH2) batteries were replaced during the Servicing Mission 4 (SM4) after 19 years and one month on orbit.The purpose of this presentation is to highlight the findings from the assessment of the initial sm4 replacement battery performance. The batteries are described, the 0 C capacity is reviewed, descriptions, charts and tables reviewing the State Of Charge (SOC) Performance, the Battery Voltage Performance, the battery impedance, the minimum voltage performance, the thermal performance, the battery current, and the battery system recharge ratio,
Determination of the number of micrometeoroid impact craters on the camera provided an opportunity to make a sensitive direct measurement of the flux of interplanetary dust particles impacting the lunar surface. Optical and scanning electron microscope studies were performed. Low velocity impact and flux analyses are presented.
