Autonomous Tritium Micropowered Sensors
By Loura Hall
The NIAC Phase I study confirmed the feasibility of nuclear-micropowered probes (NMPs) using tritium betavoltaic power technology for autonomous exploration of the Moon's permanently shadowed regions (PSRs). This work advanced the technology's readiness level (TRL) from TRL 1 to TRL 2, validating theoretical model . . .
