Energy Storage

The Energy Storage Workshop provides a forum to discuss the opportunities presented and challenges faced by the energy storage community in the context of new norms for the evolving and contested space environment: new & updated technologies, battery standards, acquisition, screening, and selection criteria.  To address these topics, this session will cover areas including, but not limited to:

• Leveraging, producing, and improving test standards
• Measurements to support or accelerate electrochemical cycling data
• Enhancement of material and device properties

Energy Generation

What are the toughest challenges facing our power generation community that keeps you up at night? Join world leading experts in the field of space power generation for a workshop of round-table discussions aimed at identifying, defining, and brainstorming solutions to the most critical challenges the government, industry, and space power community faces today. This workshop gathers in one room great minds and experts working on or interested in space power generation technologies and offers a collaborative session for brainstorming strategies to propel the space power generation community forward. You’re invited to join and engage in insightful dialogue, share expertise, and contribute to shaping the future of space power generation.

Power Management and Distribution (PMAD)

Powering Spacecraft within cost and schedule constraints

Customers are buying services from large constellations of spacecraft; this has led to a shift in reliability from individual satellites to group fault-tolerance. However, too many sat failures can mean contract cancellation and even bankruptcy.

We will discuss concepts and strategies compatible with mass-produced & tested Electrical Power Systems that maximize success.

We will also discuss some emerging trends on fault propagation that are impacting new systems.

• What does Power System reliability look like?
• Can we rapidly incorporate new components and improvements as part of the process?
• Can we “push back” against pressures to cut design margin beyond reason?
