BID: $ANS-194.04
Space Systems/Loral (SS/L), a subsidiary of Loral Space &
Communications has won a contract from Boeing NASA Systems, Houston,
Texas, to build 40 replacement batteries for the U.S. photovoltaic, or
power-producing, module of the International Space Station (ISS). These
replacement units will be used as spares or to replace older ISS
batteries currently on orbit.
SS/L's advanced nickel-hydrogen batteries are used to store electrical
energy for use during the 16 solar eclipse periods that the ISS
encounters during its daily orbits around the earth.
