A viewgraph presentation outlines the mission objectives and power subsystem for the Mars Sample Return (MSR) Athena Rover. The NASA-DOD (depth of discharge) Interagency Li Ion program objectives are discussed. Evaluation tests performed at JPL are listed, and test results are shown for the Li-Ion cell initial capacity, charge/discharge capacity, voltage and ratio, specific energy, watt-hour efficiency, and cell voltage at various temperatures.
