Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators(RTGs)generate electrical power by converting the heat released from the nuclear decay of radioactive isotopes(typically plutonium-238)into electricity using a thermoelectric(TE)converter.RTGs have been successfully used to power a number of space missions including the Apollo lunar missions,the Viking Mars landers,Pioneer 10 and 11,and the Voyager,Ulysses,Galileo,Cassini,and New Horizons outer planet spacecrafts.MSLs Curiosity rover is powered by the Multi-Mission Radioisotope Generator(MMRTG).Teledyne Energy Systems Inc.(TESI)and prime contractor,Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne,working in partnership with the Department of Energy,produced this generator for Curiosity.
