Abstract
Results of design and experimental studies aimed at developing a milliwatt-power radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) based on plutonium-238 for space power are considered and analyzed. Milliwatt-power RTGs based on plutonium-238 are completely self-contained electric power sources offering a long proven service lifetime (>15 years) and high reliability. Such electric power sources find application both for space exploration and in terrestrial equipment, especially with the advance of microsystem technologies.
