Sectioned at Mid-Plane *Fine-Weave Pierced Fabric, a 90%-dense 3D carbon-carbon composite *Carbon-Bonded Carbon Fibers, a 10%-dense high-temperature insulator *62.5-watt 238 Pu02 pellet • RTPV heat source consists of two GPHS modules, identical to those used on Galileo, Ulysses, and upcoming Cassini missions. • This is a 60% reduction from the five modules used in the RTG design for PFF. • GPHS modules have undergone very extensive safety analyses, tests, and reviews.' These need not be repeated as long as the PFF launch vehicle is no more severe than the Shuttle or Titan-4. *
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
