About the Radioisotope Power Systems Program [1]

[]

Date: 2024-02

GRC has decades of experience developing the Stirling converter technology that could be utilized by a dynamic power system. As part of its program management responsibilities, GRC leads program planning, financial and scheduling activities. JPL provides support for program planning and mission analysis, as well as continued research and development of thermoelectric technologies employed by radioisotope thermoelectric generators, or RTGs. JPL also supports launch approval engineering, which is concerned with engineering, communication and regulatory issues related to the safe launch of radioisotope power systems. APL supports the RPS program with mission and systems analyses.
