Description
Dynamic, isotope-heated power systems are needed to carry out the exploration of space, and are minor elements identified by NASA for the space exploration initiative (SEI). The dynamic isotope power system (DIPS) demonstration program is aimed at establishing the advanced technology as well as the system designs and hardware for this initiative and other exploratory missions. Several conceptual designs of DIPS systems have been developed which provide the needed compact, reliable, long-lived power systems
