Summary

Recent trends in heat source programs indicate the feasibility of a modular approach to heat source design. In this approach, modules, comprised of a number of individually encapsulated units or capsulettes, are stacked together to form one heat source. Each capsulette can independently survive impact and post-impact containment. Such heat sources are useful for electrical power generation in space.
