NEWSLithium-ion technology visitsMars’ 2nd moon, PhobosThey’re compact, reliable andable to survive the blistering heatof the sun unshielded byatmosphere. They can evensurvive the deep cold of space foryears on end - and still deliver theright charge when required.We’re talking about Lithium-ionpolymer batteries.Their extensive use in the Marsmissions have been pioneeringsteps in the progress of higherenergy densities, performance,overall quality and extendedcalendar life for energy storage inspace.Produced by ABSL Space Products,the Lithium-ion batteries providea greatly reduced mass to energydensityratio and no 'memoryeffect' found in other batterychemistries. Their design allowsthem to fully recharge every timeand gives them a greateroperating temperature range -allowing them to function even inorbit or on the surface of Mars.On March 1st, 2010, ESA's MarsExpress skimmed the surface ofMars' largest moon Phobos, passingby at an altitude of 67 km. Thanksto the onboard power supply, theMars Express engaged in a seriesof 12 flybys of Phobos. At eachclose pass, different instrumentswere trained towards themysterious space rock, gainingnew information. From closerange, Mars Express was pulled'off-course' by the gravitationalfield of Phobos. This amounted tono more than a few millimetresevery second and did not affectthe mission in any way.However, for the tracking teamson Earth, it allowed a unique lookinside the moon to see how itsmass is distributed throughout.It turns out Phobos may have aninterior with the hollowconsistency of a ‘Malteser’.Phobos - a place with zeroatmosphere.The MarsExpress - till boldly going - all thanks tolithium ion batteries [see pic below].Lithium-ion units continue to be inthe news.On 22nd October 2009, the ESAPROBA spacecraft powered byABSL lithium-ion achieved itseighth year in orbit. This reflectsgreat credit on a new technologywhich already has a number ofnew applications with Earth-basedpower systems.ABSL’s Lithium-ion unit.In brief...China builds 600MWin TurpanSADoChina Huaneng Group,China's biggest powerproducer, will build two600MW power units in thefar western Xinjiang UygurAutonomous Region.
