Power Systems • Operational Period • LETS will be 365 days • Power Required Systems • Cyclopes Lander • Telemetry • Communication • Thermal systems • Instrumentation • Ascent and descent operations • Caution and warning systems • Power conditioning • Regulate power • Power storage • Power Supply Options • Solar Cell • Battery • RTG • Looking at 1-2 SRG and 6-8 Li-ion at this time or something similar. Also still going over the options above and trying to get a more creative design but this is a safety net for now.
Advantages ASRG/SRG (Nuclear) Constant Power Supply Thermal Output can be utilized for thermal systems Requires Fewer Batteries Solar Panels Minimize Cost High Power to Weight Ratio Clean Energy Politically Safe Disadvantages ASRG/SRG (Nuclear) Political Affairs Nuclear Waste Hazardous / Contamination Expensive Solar Panels Degrade Over Time Non-constant Power Supply No Thermal Output Susceptible to Lunar Environmental Conditions Requires Many Batteries Power Systems
