Towards Reduced Nickel-Cadmium Battery Cost for Micro Satellites

This paper presents the two Nickel-Cadmium technologies offered by Saft for satellites applications: the space-qualified VOS prismatic cells designed for long term LEO and GEO missions, and the VRE cylindrical cell devoted to launcher activities and to short life LEO missions for mini and micro satellites. It also details Saft's effort to minimize the cost for these cells - in strict compliance with customer's specification and without any changes to the existing product manufacturing process.

Abstract

This paper presents the two Nickel-Cadmium technologies offered by Saft for satellites applications: the space-qualified VOS prismatic cells designed for long term LEO and GEO missions, and the VRE cylindrical cell devoted to launcher activities and to short life LEO missions for mini and micro satellites. It also details Saft's effort to minimize the cost for these cells - in strict compliance with customer's specification and without any changes to the existing product manufacturing process.
