FPS: NASA Internship EE Battery Modules (Texas)

Internship ID#: JSC1-01-08-6M

Timings: Spring, Summer, Fall

Areas of Study: Chemical Engineering, Electrical, Electronic, Computer Engineering, Chemistry, Other: Chem E, Chemistry/Electrochemistry

Location: Johnson Space Center (JSC---Houston, Texas)

Internship Position:
EE Battery Modules with Polymer Lithium-Ion Cells: student researcher is required to assist in the design and development of battery modules A student researcher is required to assist in the design and development of battery modules with polymer lithium-ion cells. The battery modules will be tested in ambient as well as vacuum environments for performance as well as safety. Lunar and planetary surface systems will require that they be exposed to extreme temperatures and testing will be performed at worst case hot and cold temperatures. Perform survey on polymer lithium-ion cells used in commercial, military and space applications. Study polymer cell electrode design configurations from different manufacturers. Survey of successful long-term operation and perform analysis that may relate cell design to long life.
