RCA Astro-Electronics Division has various lightweight nickel-hydrogen batteries on test in simulated geosynchronous orbit life-cycle regimes. Four of these life-test batteries are similar to those used in the Spacenet and GSTAR communications satellites manufactured by RCA for the GTE Spacenet Corporation and the GTE Satellite Corporation, respectively. Data obtained from the Spacenet Fl spacecraft allow for early life comparison of battery performance during in-orbit eclipse periods to the life-cycle ground test data.
