Deutsch: Batterie / Español: Batería / Português: Bateria / Français: Batterie / Italiano: Batteria
In the Space industry context, "battery" refers to a Device or system that stores electrical Energy for later use, essential for powering spacecraft, satellites, and space exploration equipment. Batteries in space applications are designed to withstand extreme conditions, such as Vacuum, Radiation, and the wide Temperature ranges encountered in space. They provide Critical Power supply for various functions, including spacecraft Propulsion systems, onboard instruments, Communication systems, and life Support systems in crewed missions. Space missions often rely on rechargeable batteries that can be recharged by solar panels or other energy sources during the mission.
Description
Space batteries must be highly reliable, efficient, and capable of storing large amounts of energy with minimal Weight and volume. They often use advanced materials and technology to meet these requirements. Lithium-ion batteries are commonly used due to their high energy Density and efficiency. However, research and development continue in search of new battery technologies that offer improved Performance, safety, and longevity for space missions.
Application Areas
- Satellites: Powering communication, navigation, and earth observation satellites, especially during Eclipse periods when solar power is not available.
- Spacecraft and Probes: Supplying energy for propulsion, Data collection, and communication with Earth across Interplanetary distances.
- Rovers and Landers: Providing power for mobility, scientific instruments, and communication on planetary surfaces, such as Mars rovers.
- International Space Station (ISS): Supporting Life Support Systems, scientific experiments, and daily operations.
