- Description
- NASA/JSC has a requirement for replacing the primary lithium thionyl chloride battery for the Internal Wireless Instrumentation System (IWIS) with a new lower toxicity rechargeable battery design. The scope of the required effort includes design, certification, production, and acceptance of this new battery, which will connect to external interfaces of IWIS. The top level requirements are to deliver 100 W-hr at a regulated voltage of 12 V, provide a state of charge indicator with a 25% resolution, and include the charging circuitry capable of accepting 28V. The effort shall not include the design, certification, and production of the 28V power cable or the cable between the IWIS and the battery. The IWIS is a non-critical piece of hardware. The battery can be designed with commercial parts; however, the assembly and manufacturing process shall comply with NASA standards, or equivalents, such as J-STD-001CS, IPC, and ESA standards. Main deliverables include 14 batteries, system design packages, acceptance data packages, and certification reports all within 6 months after contract award. The SOW, End Item Specifications, and List of Deliverables are attached.
