Reconfigurable Integrated Battery for Launch Vehicle Applications

Reconfigurable Integrated Battery

Moog has a modular single string and redundant commercial energy storage system that is ideal for launch vehicle applications requiring thrust vector or control surface actuation solutions. The system is designed to limit the potential for thermal runaway events while supporting a flexible design that can be easily modified to support a number of applications. The system can be bundled with a charger to support multiple reuse missions.
