Absorber evaluation of alkaline battery separator systems with electrolyte wetting and wicking measurement
NASA/GE Power Extraction Demonstration Summary Presentation for Turbine Engine Technology Symposium (TETS) 2026.
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.
Solar power system for the ariel satellite /uk-1/
This report focuses on second-order digital phase-locked loops (DPLLs) with uniformly sampled input, an amplitude-insenstive phase extractor and a conventional loop filter.
Several aspects of lithium primary cell technology are discussed with respect to aerospace application. Particular attention is given to the statistical analysis of battery data and accelerated testing.
Cryptanalytic technique for evaluating nickel- cadmium battery cell failure characteristic data
Develop battery that will meet DS-2 power requirements under specified operational, environmental, and life requirements.
The laser altimeter, consisting of a Q switched ruby laser, transmitting optics, counting timer, receiving optics, and a photomultiplier is described. Harmonic analysis of the mission data is also presented.
Primary zinc-silver oxide battery - separator material, construction, and prototype cell evaluation
Hand operated shear removes a battery case without disturbing the internal components which are to be tested. It consists of three tool-steel elements, the cutter blade, and a hand lever that provides the mechanical advantage required to cut steel.
Requirements of the flywheel electronic system are to accelerate the momentum wheel to a fixed maximum speed when solar energy is available and to maintain a constant voltage on the spacecraft bus under varying loads when solar energy is not available.
Cost considerations for spacecraft battery reconditioning are studied. Results indicate that the cost of performing reconditioning is minuscule compared with spacecraft system investment. Results also indicate that spacecraft life extension of a few days justifies incorporation of reconditioning circuitry.
Highly conductive nonaqueous electrolytes for high energy battery
Design of silver oxide-zinc battery of limited cycle life with no degradation in discharge voltage characteristics
Thin coating of high-temperature epoxy resin provides necessary electrical insulation, as well as good thermal conductivity between battery cells. Insulation increases efficiency of nickel-cadmium battery, as it would any multicell battery assembly in which cell-to-cell thermal balance is critical.
Computer program calculates spacecraft battery energy at specific times dictated by input sequence of recharge, discharge, and no activity phases. Recharge phases are assumed during times not specified, unless batteries are fully charged. Warnings are printed when energy falls below specified level. Program assumes two identical batteries.
