Probes to Titan and comet Wirtanen, a small object composed of a mix of rock and ice, would be powered by Advanced Stirling Radioisotope Generators on their journeys into the outer solar system. The ...

Researchers at NASA’s Glenn Research Center recently assembled an engineering model Stirling power system using valuable assets that became available after the Advanced Stirling Radioisotope ...

With its relatively long half-life of 432 years and more accessible production routes, americium-241 presents a compelling alternative to plutonium-238, which is more expensive and harder to produce ...

NASA/GRC is hereby soliciting information about potential sources for R&D support services for NASA’s Advanced Stirling Radioisotope Generator (ASRG) project under the Radioisotope Power Systems ...

An ASRG would be about four times more efficient, and 7.5 kilograms lighter, than the Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator powering the $2.5 billion Curiosity rover now exploring ...

On Monday, November 5, NASA will provide an informational briefing on the Advanced Stirling Radioisotope Generator (ASRG) technology currently under development. This technology is being featured ...
