A transformative and successful safety testing campaign for future radioisotope power systems, conducted in the framework of ...
Powering spacecraft with solar energy may not seem like a challenge, given how intense the Sun’s light can feel on Earth. Spacecraft near the Earth use large solar panels to harness the Sun for the ...
Launched in 1977, the Voyager 1 and 2 space probes have been operating non-stop for over 45 years, making their way from Earth to our solar system’s outer planets and beyond. Courtesy of the ...
NASA has announced the cancellation of the decade-old program to develop a Sterling Radioisotope Generator for deep-space missions. This program was a response to the critical shortage in radioactive ...
This device, driven by a radioisotope heat source, will allow an order of magnitude increase in mass specific power (~30 vs ~3 W/kg) and a three orders of magnitude decrease in volume (~0.2 vs ~212 L) ...
INL’s Radioisotope Power Systems Group and Consequence-driven Cyber-informed Engineering Group working together to secure a radioisotope thermoelectric generator. INL’s Cybersecurity researchers and ...
If you need to charge your $1,000 cell phone, you can simply plug it in, or even more easily, just lay it on a charging mat.
According to a new study, a new radioisotope generator could enhance images produced by a molecular imaging technique known as positron emission tomography. According to a study presented at the ...
On the face of it, powering most spacecraft would appear to be a straightforward engineering problem. After all, with no clouds to obscure the sun, adorning a satellite with enough solar panels to ...
