Description
Technicians perform a fit check of the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover and its Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator. The Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator is a space nuclear power system that produces about 110 watts of electrical power to run the rover's systems and science instruments, and extra heat to keep them warm during nights and winter on Mars. It converts heat from the natural radioactive decay of plutonium dioxide into electricity using thermocouples with no moving parts. April 16-17, 2020, NASA Kennedy Space Center, Florida.
