This presentation reviews the current state of NASA orbital debris mitigation requirements with respect to spacecraft batteries. NASA requirements address the probability of accidental explosion during and after mission operations, and probability of human casualty resulting from reentry. Excluding post-mission explosion, these probabilities must be evaluated against quantitative limits. Reentry demisability models provide the quantitative results to assess compliance with the casualty threshold. Some projects show compliance with the explosion requirement using manufacturers’ stated component or assembly reliabilities, while others cite similarity with past accepted projects. With the required threshold included in the USG ODMSP, NASA encourages the use of – and seeks – standardized methods to help quantify the probability of accidental explosion.
