Batteries and Fuel Cells in Space
Open accessAbstract
The year 2000 will mark the 44th anniversary of the space program that began with the launch of the first Sputnik on October 4, 1956. Tremendous progress has been made in the exploration of space since the late 50s. Thanks to the flexibility and capability of batteries and fuel cells, NASA and the U.S. Air Force (USAF) have been able to accomplish a wide range of challenging space missions.

Claims other papers make about this one
Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The check wasn’t confident either way, so it gives no verdict — never disputed.
In the citing paper
“In the case of both types of batteries, energy efficiency of the discharge cycle as well as their specific power are discharge-rate dependent.”
From Parametric Study of a Lunar Base Power Systems (2021) · cites this paper as [83]
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe check wasn’t confident either way, so it gives no verdict — never disputed.
In the citing paper
“In general, the lower the discharge rate, the higher η dis value may be obtained [27,41,83].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
