Technology for power in space

Abstract

The two distinct future directions of the NASA Space Power Research and Technology Program are toward multikilowatt power levels at low cost and toward very high performance. The development of both of these directions is reviewed and attention is given to the underlying conversion technologies: photovoltaic, chemical energy conversion and storage, and thermal-to-electric conversion. Problems of environmental compatibility are briefly discussed.
