GYLP has shipped the batteries as part of its maiden Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) mission to the International Space Station.
The company said it has already delivered a set of flight batteries in support of the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services vehicle development and demonstration program.
The batteries use GS Yuasa’s space qualified LSE190 lithium ion cells and were assembled by GYLP at its Roswell facility.
GYLP president Bill Moll said the company supplied this shipset of batteries in support of Orbital’s Orb-1 mission to the International Space Station ahead of the vehicle need date.
GYLP CRS battery program manager Rosanne Larkins said the delivery followed on the heels of a successful completion of the Commercial Orbital Transportation System (COTS) battery qualification and delivery of the COTS shipset that will fly on the cargo resupply demonstration mission.
GYLP is a battery manufacturer for automotive, telecom, and industrial applications.
