en.Wedoany.com Reported - Maxell and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) are jointly conducting research and demonstration of high heat-resistant all-solid-state battery technology, with this collaboration being incorporated into JAXA's Space Technology Small Satellite Rapid Evaluation Project (JAXA-STEPS). Maxell's proposal, "Development and Demonstration of High Heat-Resistant All-Solid-State Batteries to Maximize Spacecraft Missions," was selected, and both parties will advance this joint research.

JAXA-STEPS is a space technology demonstration acceleration program that utilizes small satellites for rapid technology verification, aiming to promote future missions and technology development in the public and private sectors. The goal of the collaboration between Maxell and JAXA is to reduce the number of temperature control devices required for spacecraft, thereby achieving overall satellite weight reduction and enhancing design flexibility.

Maxell has long been committed to developing all-solid-state batteries that maintain high safety at temperatures exceeding 100°C. In the joint research, in addition to achieving energy density comparable to conventional lithium-ion batteries, the company plans to leverage the characteristics of all-solid-state batteries to achieve stable output performance and long service life across the extremely wide temperature range of the space environment.

This joint research will include demonstration verification of all-solid-state batteries installed on satellites. By integrating all-solid-state batteries into satellites, temperature control equipment can be minimized, further reducing satellite weight while enhancing overall design flexibility.
