Two AMTEC power units fabricated by Advanced Modular Power Systems, Inc. using a cold end condenser manufactured by Creare, Inc. which operate for 342 hours and 575 hours were dissected and examined.
The technical challenges confronting development of Alkali Metal Thermal-to Electric Converters (AMTEC) for up to 15 year life on NASA Mars and outer planetary missions are significant, although approaches to solutions are understood by many investigators.
An improved electrode for the Alkali Metal Thermal to Electric Converter (AMTEC) has been made and tested.
