Sustainable on-demand power solutions are an absolute necessity as humanity works to establish a permanent presence on the moon and make the journey to Mars. NASA’s SIBatt-3D Early Career Initiative project at MSFC is developing shape-conformable Sodium-Ion batteries that can be 3D printed in-space as needed during extended space missions. SIBatt-3D makes use of the unique advantages of 3D printing to create shape-conformable batteries with improved performance that reduce dead volume in devices and seeks to utilize materials found in Lunar/Martian regolith as feedstocks to provide sustainable power for surface operations on the Moon and Mars. SIBatt-3D’s batteries also have terrestrial implications such as improved battery safety and sustainability.
