Evaluation Program for Secondary Spacecraft Cells: Initial Evaluation Tests of General Electric Company 8.0 Ampere-Hour Nickel-Cadmium Spacecraft Cells with Auxiliary Electrodes for the Small Astronomy Satellite (SAS-C),

Abstract

The purpose of this evaluation test program is to insure that all cells put into the life cycle program are of high quality by the screening of cells found to have electrolyte leakage, internal shorts, test. Test limits specify those values in which a cell is to be terminated from a particular charge or discharge. Requirements are referred to as normally expected values based on past performance of aerospace nickel-cadmium cells with demonstrated life characteristics.
