CD tO _D tO I ABSTRACTThe major objective of the NASA Aerospace Flight Battery Systems Program is to provide NASA with the policy and posture to increase and ensure the safety, performance and reliability of batteries for space power systems. The program plan has been modified in the ast year to reflectchanges in the agency's approach to artery related problems that are affecting flight programs.Primary attention in the Battery Program is being devoted to the development of an advanced nickel-cadmium cell design and the qualification of vendors to produce cells for flight programs.As part of a unified Battery Program, the development of a nickel-hydrogen standard and primary cell issues are also being pursued to provide high performance NASA Standards and space qualified state-of-the-artprimary cells. The resolution of issues is being addressed with the full participation of the aerospace battery community.
