2. Batteries in space - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batteries_in_space

   Vehicles such as the Apollo spacecraft and the Space Shuttle required more power than could be supplied by batteries or solar panels, and so relied on hydrogen fuel cells to provide several kilowatts of power for hundreds of hours. [2] A reserve battery is a primary battery that keeps its chemical reactants separated until needed. This improves ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spacecraft_powered...

   This is a list of spacecraft powered by non-rechargeable batteries.While most spacecraft are powered by longer-lasting power sources such as solar cells or radioisotope thermoelectric generators, which can provide power for years to decades, some have been powered by primary (non-rechargeable) electrochemical cells, which provide runtimes of minutes to months.

   Ni-H2 batteries on the P6 truss were replaced in 2009 and 2010 with more Ni-H2 batteries brought by Space Shuttle missions. [25] The nickel-hydrogen batteries had a design life of 6.5 years and could exceed 38,000 charge/discharge cycles at 35% depth of discharge. They were replaced multiple times during the expected 30-year life of the station.

9. Space vehicle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_vehicle

   The earliest space vehicles were expendable launch systems, using a single or multistage rocket to carry a relatively small spacecraft in proportion to the total vehicle size and mass. [1] An early exception to this, the Space Shuttle , consisted of a reusable orbital vehicle carrying crew and payload, supported by an expendable external ...
