Modulur DIPS, 2.5-kWe modules for lunar/Mars surface applications, design point selection summary
Abstract
The results are presented of a systematic series of studies leading to the selection and conceptual design development of a Dynamic Isotope Power System (DIPS) module for lunar and Martian surface applications. An optimum system configuration has been developed for the module that provides a system with a radiator area which is small and manageable without significantly impacting the system mass, efficiency, and technological risk. The maximum design temperature for the system has been determined.
