Description

This procurement is for the design, development, fabrication, testing, and delivery of the pace battery. The battery is a rechargeable lithium-ION battery used to supply power to the pace observatory during prelaunch operations, the launch phase, the eclipse periods for all mission phases, and when load requirements exceed the available solar array power. The battery consists of lithium-ION cells, wiring, battery enclosure/frame, instrumentation, and electrical connectors. The main purpose of this effort is to design, analyze, manufacture, inspect, test, and deliver 14 cells per lot and three (3) LI-ION batteries (one qual battery, one flight battery, and one flight spare battery). Qual battery will be subjected to the qualification level testing and the other flight batteries will be subjected to the acceptance level testing...the battery will be designed for test as a single assembly and accommodate a radiator. The battery shall be designed as single point failure tolerant, such that a shorted or open circuit cell does not create a single point failure.
