Radioisotope Thermolelectric Generator - Edward L
Saturn-bound is designed to rely,
without on the waste heat from its three radioisotope
generators to warm the propulsion module
subsystem, and the RTG end dome is a key
determining factor of the amount of waste heat delivered. A
previously thermal model of the RTG was the
sole guide to understanding its complex behavior, but
displayed large against some thermal
development test data. A careful effort to
significant modifications and adjustments of the model, which
result in a doubling of the radiative heat transfer from the heat
source support assemblies to the end domes and bring up the
dome flange predictions to within of the
pertinent data. The increased inboard end dome
has a...

Advanced Radioisotope Power Source Options For Pluto Express - Mark L. Underwood
the drive reduce mass and cost, is
investigating using an advanced power conversion
in a small Radioisotope Power Source to
deliver the mission power of 74 at of
mission. year the baseline power source under
consideration has been a Radioisotope
Generator This would be a scaled down
with an inventory of 6 General Sources
IS) and a mass of 17.8 advanced
technology conversion options arc being examined to
the power source mass and to the amount of
radioisotope arc being considered
as advanced converter the Alkali Metal
Converter
('l'l'V) and Stirling Engines. Conceptual designs
for each of these options have been prepared.
