When the MMS is shuttle launched, there should not be a large<br />
cost impact associated with <strong>in</strong>tegration and test<strong>in</strong>g for every new array,<br />
s<strong>in</strong>ce the shuttle imposes fewer size constra<strong>in</strong>ts and lower stresses<br />
(vibration, acoustic) than previous launchers.<br />
All of the MMS batteries and spacecraft loads are controlled by<br />
a s<strong>in</strong>gle PRU (see Fig. B-3). In the event of a s<strong>in</strong>gle battery cell<br />

voltage; while this will underutilize the undamaged batteries by one<br />
cell out of 22, the total energy available will still be more than if<br />
the battery with the failed cell were placed off l<strong>in</strong>e. In the STPSS,<br />
In the three-battery case, two cells out of 66 are sacrificed because<br />
of the one cell failure, while open circuit<strong>in</strong>g a s<strong>in</strong>gle battery<br />
sacrifices 21 cells.
