Prismatic and bobbin electrochemical cells for low temperature battery
Membrane and absorber screening tests for alkaline battery separators
Our present design for a common pressure vessel (CPV) battery, a nickel hydrogen battery system to combine all of the cells into a common pressure vessel, uses an open disk which allows the cell to be set into a shallow cavity; subsequent cells are stacked on each other with the total number based on the battery voltage required. This approach not only eliminates the assembly error threat, but also more readily assures equal contact pressure to the heat fin between each cell, which further assures balanced heat transfer. These heat fin dishes with their appropriate cell stacks are held together with tie bars which in turn are connected to the pressure vessel weld rings at each end of the tube.

Ataxia test battery to assess postural equilibrium under rotating conditions and for use in testing vestibular apparatus
Simulator verifies proper operation of a battery cell voltage-monitoring device. It also contains variable ac voltage to ascertain that a battery scanner will perform its function at all possible ac voltages.
Develop battery that will meet DS-2 power requirements under specified operational, environmental, and life requirements.
Low temperature batteries for deep space probes and extending battery usefulness by heating
Filler and matrix composite materials for use in silver-zinc battery separators
Inorganic fillers and pressure effects on films for separators for heat sterilizable silver zinc battery
The purpose of this experiment campaign is to find materials or surface coatings that repel ("dewet") cryogenic propellants. This presentation summarizes progress up to this point.
Materials research - diffusion bonding methods, stress corrosion tests, nondestructive testing, material designs for electronic equipment, and nonmetallic material development.
The following topics are discussed: the Electrical Power Subsystem; the Eclipse Energy Requirements; the NiH2 CPV battery; and the battery pressure transducer. The discussion is presented in viewgraph format.
This presentation discusses use of Core Flight Systems in NASA Langley Research Center's drone flight test environment for autonomy algorithms research.
Coulometer controlled battery charge regulator controls nickel/cadmium type primary cells used in space applications. The use of the coulometer as an ampere hour measuring device permits all available current to go to the battery until full charge state is reached, at which time the charge rate is automatically reduced.
