In recent decades, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have become the preferred choice for powering space missions, replacing older nickel-based and silver-zinc battery chemistries. Their high energy density, long cycle life, and superior weight-to-power ratio make them ideal for space applications.
Space exploration demands high-performance, reliable, and long-lasting power sources. From rovers exploring Mars to satellites orbiting Earth, spacecraft rely on advanced battery technology to survive the harsh conditions of space.
The European Space Agency''s experimental Proba-1 Earth-observing mission in 2001 was the first to use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries in space. What kind of constraints are batteries subjected to in these extreme environments? How different are these batteries from those we use every day in our smartphones or electric vehicles?
Depending on the nature of the space mission, several other battery chemistries have historically been used (see Figure 3). For example, if operation in extreme temperatures is required, lithium-sulfur dioxide and lithium thionyl chloride batteries are good choices since they can function from -55°C to 65°C and -55°C to 80°C, respectively.
Our photovoltaic systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
