Re: [amsat-bb] Cordless Drill Batteries for Satellites?

[Robert McGwier <rwmcgwier@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Zack:

We actively investigating two new energy storage technologies for future 
satellite endeavors and as always we are looking for  new technology 
that will help in this area.  As the principal investigators get further 
along in their study of this for us, you can expect to see this work 
published.   Emily is putting together a new information distribution 
system for showing our technical work in progress.  When this gets 
vetted and secured and release,  you will immediately see some early 
work done in this area which should be of interest to you.
