Hyposto energy storage solutions for optimising power supply in space missions

The market for energy storage solutions in the space sector is growing continuously. There is a need for new energy storage systems that can withstand extreme conditions such as radiation, temperature fluctuations, and long operational durations, because conventional lithium-ion batteries face limitations due to their limited cycle life, temperature sensitivity, and radiation vulnerability.

Hyposto Energy is developing lithium-titanium-oxide (LTO) batteries for the space industry, particularly satellite operators, space organisations, and private companies, to optimise the power supply of satellites and enhance their lifespan and cost efficiency. LTO batteries offer high cycle life, radiation resistance, and temperature tolerance, making them ideal for space applications. Additionally, they allow for the integration of solar energy and serve as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), allowing critical systems to be continuously powered.

The technology could also be applied to spin-off applications in renewable energy and PV home storage on Earth.

Benefits:

• LTO batteries offer up to 25,000 charge cycles (five to ten times longer than lithium-ion batteries) to ensure longer durability, which is crucial for the long-term operation of space systems.
• Radiation-resistance, making LTO batteries ideal for space, where radiation can shorten the lifespan of electronics.
• Wide temperature tolerance of -40°C to +70°C and robustness against extreme vibrations, ensuring reliability in harsh environments.
