Abstract

The use of Fault Tree Analysis allows designers to identify the relative importance of events and their probabilities in leading to a catastrophic failure of a spacecraft battery. Such an analysis is demonstrated for the case of a 576 cell Li/SOCl 2 battery, showing how the probability of catastrophic failure can be reduced to one in one million.
