NASA astronauts finished a multi-year project to upgrade batteries on the ISS
They installed the last lithium-ion battery required for the redesign during a new spacewalk.
At the point when NASA astronauts Mike Hopkins and Victor Glover went on a spacewalk on February first, they wrapped up a multi-year effort to supplant the aging nickel hydrogen batteries on the ISS with new lithium-ion models.
The International Space Station Program affirmed the advancement of lithium-ion batteries to supplant the station's maturing power storage framework back in 2011. Battery creation began in 2014, and the main lithium—particle substitutions traveled to the station on board JAXA's Kounotori 6 resupply trip in December 2016. Presently, four years after that flight and 14 spacewalks with 13 distinct space travelers later, the update is finally total.
