Abstract
Enabling the Next Frontiers in Astrobiology — Ocean and Ice Worlds Explorations with a Radioisotope Power System Inside a Pressure Vessel
Highlights
A new exploration paradigm requires novel technological solutions
In this White Paper, we provided considerations for a novel power system—a Radioisotope Power System inside a Pressure Vessel—that could enable Ocean Worlds exploration of ice-shells and oceans
It should be noted that the information presented about future mission concepts and their notional power systems is pre-decisional and is provided for planning and discussion purposes only
