Abstract

NASA is exploring a host of exciting planetary science exploration ideas for the next decade. The energy storage systems are required for the outer planet, inner planet, Mars, and small body missions. In space missions on energy storage systems place various essential performance conditions. It must be made to specifications and reviewed to maintain trust and to fulfill a wide variety of needs. The energy storage systems used in planetary science missions include main batteries (Non-rechargeable), secondary batteries (rechargeable), and condensers. Fuel cells have been used in human space missions but not in planetary science missions. Therefore, due to this limitation of the fuel cell, it is necessary to develop strong rechargeable batteries to increase the life of the launch vehicle. This chapter offers an overview of energy storage systems that are widely used in the launch vehicle. Storage technologies differ in terms of cost, cycle life, energy density, performance, power output, and discharge time. The benefits and drawbacks of various commercially developed battery chemistries are investigated. The chapter concludes with a discussion on lithium-ion battery recovery and reuse best practices. Advanced technologies are described in this study as those that have not yet been used in space missions and are still in progress. Main batteries, rechargeable batteries, fuel cells, capacitors, and flywheels are among the advanced technologies discussed in this chapter.
