| الوصف: | To enable future human exploration missions, the lunar surface will serve as a crucial training ground and technology demonstration test site where NASA will prepare for future human missions to Mars and other destinations. Key enablers in this exploration are rover systems intended to operate in both the lunar and Mars surface environments. This study focused primarily on the Mars surface environment because, compared to the near-continuous illumination near the lunar poles, the day/night cycles and the reduced solar illumination on Mars make it much more difficult to use solar power. However, solar power is not the only power generation technology available. Top-level energy studies have shown that a radioisotope power system (RPS) has promise for supplying both power and thermal energy for crewed rovers on both the Moon and Mars. This design study investigates how an RPS could potentially meet the power and thermal needs of a pressurized rover with applications for both destinations. The design focus is on what service an RPS can provide and how it would be integrated into a rover (power and thermal interfaces, placement, radiation shielding, fairing installation on the pad, etc.). |
