Lander Lab #5: Lithium Polymer Batteries
the hull means you only subtract the water weight from the buoyancy budget, rather than the air weight when it’s inside the hull. Just a SWAG, but for the same amount of buoyancy, a craft may be able to carry an additional 25% power.For more background details on LiPo’s, see Battery University <https://batteryuniversity.com/>; “A Guide to Understanding LiPo Batteries” <https://www.rogershobbycenter.com/lipoguide>; and “The care and feeding of LiPo packs” <https://www.promodeler.com/askJohn/How-To-Care-for-LiPo-Packs>.Follow your curiosity and

. We have expanded use of the ship for additional customers, and we’ve been successful with it, particularly with institutes and academia, most notably in the U.S., which now have access to this world-class platform. I spend a proportion of my time meeting with the people from University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS), Office of Naval Research (ONR), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and other people who go to sea on a regular basis but don’t necessarily have the platforms available that they would like. So we’ve done a considerab

The ship is one of three University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) vessels operated by Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. As with 18 other vessels in the UNOLS fleet, it is available for use by oceanographers, geoscientists, biologists, and atmospheric scientists around the country. R/V
