METHOD OF GROUND ENVIRONMENT OF SPACECRAFT POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B64G1/42 G01R31/36 H01M10/44 

FIELD: astronautics; test technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to spacecraft power supply ground electrical tests. Method consists in carrying out the charge and discharge of batteries with active temperature control and control of the temperature of the standard batteries and in storing them without temperature control. Initially, matching units (dimensional mockups) of batteries simulators are installed on the seats of the standard batteries. On the body of each unit input and output electrical connectors are mounted corresponding to the batteries connectors. Output connectors of all units are connected to the onboard cable network, and the input connectors are connected through technological and ground cable networks to the batteries simulators. Upon completion of the ground tests, the specified alignment units, cable networks and batteries simulators are dismantled. Regular batteries are mounted on the thermal boards of the thermal control system, forming a standard configuration of a power supply system.

EFFECT: technical result is the preservation of resource characteristics and higher reliability of operation of various types of batteries at different stages of their life cycle.
