This paper presents an overview of the thermal battery specifications and its possible use for space applications. Flight-proven applications or accessible with the current technology are presented. Historically limited to single use and short durations, recent developments show encouraging results for extending this technology: Capacities for postponing launches or for exploration missions of several days in hot environments are also reported.
