The multi-mission radioisotope thermoelectric generator (MMRTG) is a type of radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) developed for NASA space missions [1] such as the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Energy's Office of Space and Defense Power Systems within the Office of Nuclear Energy.

Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (MMRTG), was designed with the flexibility to operate on planetary bodies with atmospheres, such as at Mars, as well as in the vacuum of space. An MMRTG generates about 110 watts of electrical power at launch, an increment of power that can be matched with a variety of potential mission needs.

2024年9月26日 · The current RTG model is the Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator, or MMRTG. It is based on the type of RTG flown previously on the two Viking landers and the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft (the SNAP-19 RTG).

What is a Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator? Space exploration missions require safe, reliable, long-lived power systems to provide electricity and heat to spacecraft and their science instruments.

Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (MMRTG), has been designed to operate on Mars and in the vacuum of space. The MMRTG has a flexible modular design capable of meeting the needs of a wide variety of missions, as it generates electrical power in smaller increments than previous generations of RTGs, about 110 watts at launch.

The Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (MMRTG) was developed to serve as a power source for a variety of space missions, from planetary surface to deep space interplanetary missions.

2004年12月20日 · Boeing and Teledyne Energy Systems collaborated on an MMRTG design concept based on heritage, SNAP 19, thermoelectric converter design utilized by Teledyne for previous space exploration missions. Boeing subsequently awarded a major subcontract to Teledyne Energy Systems to design and produce the …

2004年4月6日 · A multi-mission radioisotope thermoelectric generator (MMRTG) would provide a power system to support a variety of surface missions and spacecraft destined to

2004年3月1日 · Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (MMRTG) program overview Future NASA missions require safe, reliable, long-lived power systems for surface exploration of planetary bodies such as Mars as well as exploration of the solar system in the vacuum of space beyond Earth orbit.
