Batteries Best Suited to Power Satellite Communications Satellites

9 Batteries Best Suited to Power Satellite Communications Satellites 

This section identifies rechargeable or secondary battery requirements best suited for communications and surveillance and reconnaissance satellites. The battery power requirements are strictly dependent on several factors, including launch orbits such as LEO, elliptical, or GSO orbital height the type of stabilization technique used (i.e., mono-spin, dual-spin, or three-axis configuration) satellite operational life attitude control system and the overall DC power requirements needed to power the electronic and electrical subsystems, the electro-optical and microwave sensors, and the attitude and stabilization control mechanisms.
