SIL developed and produced one hundred Li-Ion Intelli-Pack© Batteries for the NASA Johnson Space Center’s International Space Station (ISS). Li-Ion Intelli-Pack® batteries are used by Astronauts to run science experiments and are rechargeable via a USB port on a laptop aboard the ISS.

SIL’s pioneering smart battery technology is bringing innovation and cost affordability to NASA’s International Space Station. The ISS was launched in 1998 and is now the largest artificial body in orbit. Including its large solar arrays, the ISS spans the area of a U.S. football field, including the end zones, and weighs 924,739 pounds.
