Abstract
This paper presents the results obtain in the frame of the ESA TRP: High specific Li-ion cells based on high voltage materials.As there is a need of high energy cells for Space application, a low TRL study was performed by Saft, CEA and ADS in order to developed high energy cells prototypes with a space proven cell mechanical design. The program was divided into 3 main parts.1) Bibliographic study on the most promising active materials, 2 nd a laboratory2) Laboratory scale study of the selected active materials3) Realization and electrochemical evaluation of format D prototype cells
Highlights
ESA initiates this TRP activity in order that all European space missions would benefit by having more lightweight energy storage

Summary
ESA initiates this TRP activity in order that all European space missions would benefit by having more lightweight energy storage. By increasing the energy density of the lithium ion cells the weight of the spacecraft battery, and the satellite weight will be reduced. In Europe, lithium ion technology has been established as the state-of-the-art battery technology, since the launch of Proba 1 satellite in 2001. Lithium-ion cells provided a great improvement over their preceded technologies by reducing the mass and volume of the batteries and subsequently the cost of satellite launch, since that is directly related to the weight of the satellite. Further development towards higher energy density and lighter lithium-ion cells will enable the increase of functional payload weight and mission capabilities for space applications
