Anticipated Benefits
Lithium solid sate batteries are being perceived as the next generation advanced battery technology. Being compact, lightweight, robust and safe, these batteries will be more beneficial to NASA missions, compared to the conventional Li-ion batteries. They will also enable long-life missions, Venus aerial missions. Additionally, they will be compatible with the Planetary Protection requirements (for Ocean Worlds' missions), i.e., Dry Heat Microbial reduction.
