Optimizing Science Payloads for Stand-Alone Operation on the Lunar Surface in the Next Decades
Abstract
We demonstrate that alternative thermal design and components for state-of-the-art science packages can meet and potentially exceed the power and mass constraints of earlier packages without requiring the use of Pu238 based radiothermal generators.
