battery that do not melt even in 480 degree temperature will be using in future Nasa Venus missions
Recently, in a video, NASA had told interesting things about the planet Venus. The atmosphere of Venus is surrounded by a layer of carbon dioxide 24 kilometers thick. The clouds on Venus are rich in sulfuric acid. The temperature of Venus is so high that it can melt lead. The surface temperature of Venus can reach 480 degrees Celsius.
Despite this, for Venus NASA’s mission Moving forward. She, in collaboration with a company named Advanced Thermal Battery (ATB), is developing a battery system that can withstand the ‘deadly’ temperatures of Venus. These batteries will be installed in the lander to land on Venus. Both of them have also tested such batteries together. It is claimed that this battery can work on Venus for 120 Earth days.
Although this battery system is still in the development stage, the results obtained show that batteries capable of working in the harsh environment of Venus may soon become a reality. It is not that missions have not been sent to Venus till date. NASA, the Soviet Union, the European Space Agency and Japan have launched their missions in the past. The Soviet Union’s spacecraft could operate on Venus for only 2 hours. It is expected that the new batteries will enable a lander to stay on Venus for a long time in the future.
