“…To reduce the impact of stress factors, the battery storage in the space mission is carefully maintained in a regulated environment. For instance, to maintain environmental conditions, some battery packs are enclosed in an Inconel (oxidation-corrosion-resistant materials) pressure vessel (NASA, 2014;NASA, 2022g) or placed in an aluminum structure (Zaragoza-Asensio et al, 2021). These battery packs are further placed in an insulated bulkhead alongside power electronics and communication devices in a controlled environment (Zaragoza-Asensio et al, 2021;NASA, 2022h).…”

In deep space missions, these factors are absent or their influence on calendar aging is minimal compared to the impacts of temperature and SOC (NASA, 2009).…”

Energy availability is a critical challenge for space missions, especially for those missions designed to last many decades. Space satellites have depended on various combinations of radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RGTs), solar arrays, and batteries for power. For deep space missions lasting as long as 50 + years, batteries will also be needed for applications when there is no sunlight and RTGs cannot support peak power demand due to their insufficient specific power. This paper addresses the potential use of lithium-ion batteries for long-term space missions. Using data collected from the literature and internal experiments, a calendar aging model is developed to assess the capacity fade as a function of temperature, state-of-charge and time. The results for various LIB chemistries are used to identify the best candidate chemistries and determine the conditions, with a focus on low temperatures, that can best enable deep space missions.

“…In this project, based on the expertise of the IDR/UPM Institute in this field [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], a numerical simulator of the EPS of TASEC-Lab has been modeled to predict its performance (i.e., battery voltage and power dissipation) during operation. For this purpose, several laboratory tests have been conducted and a set of experimental data has been used to develop analytical models of the main electrical parts: a Li-ion battery and two DC-DC converters.…”

This paper describes the modelling and simulation of the Electrical Power Subsystem (EPS) of the Thermal Analysis Support and Environment Characterization Laboratory (TASEC-Lab). TASEC-Lab is a university experiment on board a sub-orbital platform. It is designed to measure the convection heat transfer in high-altitude balloon missions. The EPS provides, regulates, and distributes electric power to the different systems, parts, and sensors that compose the TASEC-Lab (e.g., On Board Computer (OBC), temperature and pressure sensors, cup anemometer, GPS, heaters... ). It mainly consists of a Li-ion battery and two DC-DC converters, and they have been characterized by conducting laboratory tests and fitting to experimental data. A real power consumption profile of the first TASEC-Lab’s mission (designed by Universidad Politecnica de Madrid) is used as input to simulate the EPS. The mathematical model is validated by comparison with experimental results.
