TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY: Lunar Experiment Support System and Handling (LESSH) Battery Charger Module (BCM) (GSC-TOPS-362)

d for seamless integration with the interface bank on the HLS. A 1.5-meter flexible harness with an EVA-compatible connector and removable dust cover enables reliable operation in austere environments. Astronaut-operated controls, such as a guarded power switch and LED indicators, simplify usability and reduce the potential for errors during high-stakes lunar operations. The BCM is optimized for safety and efficiency, incorporating state-of-the-art power and charging capabilities. It supports charging of 28V astronaut-rated batteries with a power output rated at 215W and integrates a battery pre-heater to maintain optimal performance in extreme temperatures. The BCM features a 4-hour charge time with software adjustability for charging parameters such as current, voltage, overvoltage, and undervoltage setpoints. Battery longevity is ensured through passive rebalancing of cell voltages and advanced safety features. Its 2-fault tolerant hardware and adjustable safety setpoints safeguard against potential hazards. Additionally, the BCM supports 1000BASE-T Ethernet pass-through for high-speed data transfer. Originally designed to extend the length of lunar surface science experiments by enabling astronauts to recharge instrumentation, NASAs LESSH BCM may be desired by companies seeking to operate sensors on the lunar or Martian lunar surface. The design may also be suitable for terrestrial applications involving harsh environments where interchangeable sealed sensors must operate on their own or with rovers, robotics, and drones. The BCM is at technology readiness level (TRL) 4 (component and/or breadboard validation in lab) and is available for patent licensing.
