Electrovaya To Resupply ISS With Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery System


Toronto ON (SPX) May 13, 2005
 Electrovaya announced last Wednesday that it has received a new contract from NASA-JSC to provide a re-chargeable flight battery and charger system.

This system will replace the non-rechargeable lithium thionyl chloride battery now used in the Internal Wireless Instrumentation System (IWIS) which monitors the structural and thermal dynamics within the International Space Station (ISS) habitable modules.

As part of this project of up to six months duration, Electrovaya will design, develop and produce an integrated flight charger and battery based on its rechargeable lithium ion technology for an amount of US$294,000.

"By awarding Electrovaya the work on the power supply for the IWIS program, NASA has demonstrated its confidence in Electrovaya's technology and our ability to meet its needs," said Dr. James Jacobs, Chief Technology Officer.

"The aim of the IWIS battery program is to reduce battery maintenance operations and the associated recurring costs. Our technology is positioned to meet this need," concluded Dr. Jacobs.

NASA Had No Choice But To Buy Soyuz Flights
 Washington DC (SPX) Jan 09, 2006
 NASA's announcement last week that it will pay Roskosmos $43.6 million for a round-trip ride to the International Space Station this spring, and an equivalent figure for an as-yet-undetermined number of future flights to the station until 2012, represents the agency's acknowledgment that it had no alternative.
