Batteries for Aerospace and Communications Satellites
2.1 Introduction
Rechargeable battery requirements for spacecrafts and communications satellites are stringent. Reliability, weight, size, and longevity are the demanding performance requirements of the rechargeable batteries for their deployment in spacecrafts and communication satellites. In addition, redundancy could be another critical performance requirement. The performance requirements for low-earth orbiting (LEO) will be stringent, and the requirements for geostationary satellites ...
