NASA Lewis Research Center's Electrical Systems Development Branch is leading a program to develop space flywheel energy storage with integrated attitude control systems. The objective of this effort is to develop a flywheel system that will reduce spacecraft infrastructure weight and improve power system efficiency. Additional potential benefits of these systems are their increased life and improved system operation. These potential advantages are due to a flywheel system's very large number of charge/recharge cycles and their known state of charge. Our multifaceted program consists of efforts to develop flywheels, and their components, as well as the facilities to test them.
