BHEL collaborates with ISRO

Bhopal: Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) along with Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), has set up a facility at its Electronics Systems Division for assembling and testing space grade solar panels using high efficiency solar cells.

“Also supplied were two sets of Li-ion batteries, each consisting of 40 Li-ion cells with a power storage capacity of 160 Ampere-Hours for GSAT-10,” BHEL said in a statement. Both the space solar panels and batteries were built and tested to strict space quality standards at the BHEL facility by highly skilled manpower, it added.

Earlier this year, space grade solar panels and Lithium-ion batteries assembled, tested and supplied by the electronics division of city-based BHEL to the ISRO were successfully deployed recently on GSAT-10 Satellite.
