Performance Characteristics of Lithium Ion Polymeric Electrolyte Cells

A series of polyacrylonitrile-based (PAN) electrolytes containing LiAsF6 and a number of solvent mixtures including ethylene carbonate (EC) + propylene carbonate (PC) were prepared, electrochemically evaluated and used as electrolyte in the polymer cells.

Instrument Level TVAC Testing of the PACE OCI Loop Heat Pipes

The Thermal Control System (TCS) of the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) Ocean Color Instrument (OCI) incorporates two propylene Loop Heat Pipes (LHP). A Thermal Vacuum (TVAC) test was conducted at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center to characterize the fully integrated OCI in the test-as-you-fly configuration. Within the constraints of movement of the OCI in the TVAC chamber, an elaborate series of trending and calibration tests have been accomplished. This paper presents the measured LHP performance along with lessons learned.

Thermal Cycle and Capacitance Testing of Mezzo Industries Phase Change Material Heat Capacitor

A phase change material heat capacitor prototype, designed and built under a NASA Small Business Innovation Research grant by Mezzo Technologies, was tested through coolant thermal cycling within the expected flow rates and temperature range of the Orion spacecraft’s propylene glycol-water mixture coolant system. Testing was performed with the phase change material contained under sealed conditions after a degassing procedure and exposed to atmosphere without prior degassing. The useful heat storage capacitance was measured and compared to Orion spacecraft requirements and theoretical N-Pentadecane storage capacity.

Special tool seals conductors with combination of plastic sleeves

Special tool seals electrical conductors connecting instrumentation within space vehicle cryogenic fuel tanks and oxidizer tanks. An inner sleeve of fluorinated ethylene-propylene and an outer sleeve of tetrafluoroethylene enclose a bundle of conductors and are heated with the tool to form a tight seal of the bundle and each individual wire.

Improved protection for silicon solar cells

Fluorinated ethylene propylene /FEP/ film is substituted for epoxy cement in bonding glass covers to silicon solar cells. Insensitivity of FEP to ultraviolet radiation reduces requirement for filtering and does not impair cell performance. Cell costs are reduced and cover mounting is simplified.
