EAGLEPICHER HELPS POWER MARS MISSION
JOPLIN, Missouri, February 12, 2004 – Products from EaglePicher Technologies, LLC played an integral role in powering NASA’s Mars mission. The Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity used EaglePicher Technologies (EPT) thermal batteries to successfully assist in the critical entry, descent and landing sequences on Mars. Each Rover had two thermal batteries manufactured at EPT’s Joplin, Missouri facility, located on the back shell to provide high-current bursts for firing several pyros (firing mechanisms). These pyros enabled parachute deployment, heat shield release, TIRS (Transfer Impulse Reaction System) and RAD (Rocket Assisted Descent) rocket firing. The batteries made the long trip to Mars in an inactive state. Upon entering the Mars atmosphere, a high-current pulse activated the batteries by generating a high temperature that melted electrolyte pellets and thus provided ionic contact between electrodes within the battery.
