Abstract:
A testbed incident affecting the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) flight computer alerted JPL to the consequences of a failure to consider passivation effects on the rover's lithium primary batteries. A passivation-induced voltage transient during a mission critical event could cause PORs, leading to corrupted memory, repeated reboots, and possible loss of mission. Characterize and plan for battery passivation and its effects, and consider designing spacecraft circuitry to tolerate such effects.
