Review of Commercial Cells For Space Applications

Review of Commercial Cells For Space Applications

Advances in Li-ion technology mean that manufacturers currently produce cells that have higher energy densities, higher rate capabilities, and longer quoted cycle lives than the currently qualified ABSL space cells. It is therefore possible that cells are available that could enable a lower mass/vol...
