Abstract
This paper introduces the lithium ion battery system for LEO(Low Earth Orbit) small satellites. This study proves the reliability of lithium ion batteries applying to the space application. The specifications for lithium ion battery unit are proposed to supply power to the satellite and the overall mechanical design including structural simulation to confirm the reliability of the lithium ion BMS(Battery Management System) under the space environment and launching conditions. The results of structural simulation, functional tests, and space environmental tests show the lithium ion battery system is space qualified. Space qualification of the small satellite battery system to secure reliability of BMS and lithium ion batteries lend credibility for using lithium ion batteries in space application.
