Results of continuous synchronous orbit testing of sealed nickel-cadmium cells

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6502902
Test results from continuous synchronous orbit testing of sealed nickel cadmium cells are presented. The synchronous orbit regime simulates a space satellite maintaining a position over a fixed point on earth as the earth rotates on its axis and revolves about the sun. Characteristics of each lot of cells, test conditions, and charge control methods are described.
