Download or read book Spacecraft Lithium Ion Battery Power Systems written by Thomas P. Barrera and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-01-24 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spacecraft Lithium-Ion Battery Power Systems Helps Readers Better Understand the Design, Development, Test, and Safety Engineering of Spacecraft Lithium-Ion Battery Power Systems Written by highly experienced spacecraft engineers and scientists working at the heart of the industry, Spacecraft Lithium-Ion Battery Power Systems is one of the first books to provide a comprehensive treatment of the broad area of spacecraft battery power systems technology. The work emphasizes the technical aspects across the entire lifecycle of spacecraft batteries including the requirements, design, manufacturing, testing, and safety engineering principles needed to field a reliable spacecraft electrical power system. A special focus on rechargeable lithium-ion battery technologies as they apply to manned and unmanned Earth-orbiting satellites, Cubesats, planetary mission spacecraft (such as orbiters, landers, rovers, and probes), and launch vehicle applications is emphasized. Using a systems engineering approach, the book smoothly bridges knowledge gaps that typically exist between academic and industry practitioners. Sample topics of discussion and learning resources included in the work include: Detailed systematic technical treatment of spacecraft LIB power systems across the entire lithium-ion battery life cycle Principles of lithium-ion cell and battery design, battery management systems, electrical power systems, safety engineering, life cycle testing, ground processing, and on-orbit mission operations Special topics such as requirements engineering, qualification testing, safety hazards and controls, reliability analysis, life modeling and prediction, on-orbit battery power system management, and decommissioning strategies New and emerging on-orbit space applications of LIBs supporting commercial, civil, and government spacecraft missions (International Space Station, Galileo, James Webb Telescope, Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover, Europa Clipper) Real space industry case studies of deployed Earth-orbiting satellite, astronaut, and planetary mission spacecraft lithium-ion batteries Overall, the work provides professionals supporting the commercial, civil, and government aerospace marketplace with key knowledge and highly actionable information pertaining to lithium-ion batteries and their specific applications in modern spacecraft systems.

Download or read book NASA Space Technology Roadmaps and Priorities written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-06-07 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NASA's Office of the Chief Technologist (OCT) has begun to rebuild the advanced space technology program in the agency with plans laid out in 14 draft technology roadmaps. It has been years since NASA has had a vigorous, broad-based program in advanced space technology development and its technology base has been largely depleted. However, success in executing future NASA space missions will depend on advanced technology developments that should already be underway. Reaching out to involve the external technical community, the National Research Council (NRC) considered the 14 draft technology roadmaps prepared by OCT and ranked the top technical challenges and highest priority technologies that NASA should emphasize in the next 5 years. This report provides specific guidance and recommendations on how the effectiveness of the technology development program managed by OCT can be enhanced in the face of scarce resources.
