CAMX Power proposes to design, fabricate, and produce 18650 Li-ion cells for satellite applications. These cells will leverage CAMX Power’s high-energy cathode materials that have been commercialized for civilian applications. CAMX Power’s 18650 cells will be designed to be repeatedly discharged to zero-Volts and meet LEO cycling requirements. Space Force’s Space and Missile Systems Center has recognized that 18650 cells capable of being discharged to zero-V (0V) multiple times will enable the power systems of mission-critical satellites to survive dead-bus events and battery management fail
