2. Differences between GENSF and terrestrial applications
GENSFs are therefore designed to meet power requirements ranging from a few kWe to a few MWe:
ranging from 1 to 10 kWe to replace radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) and address the current shortage of radioisotopes, or to provide a power level unattainable by future dynamic conversion radioisotope generators (see
) for flagship yet affordable deep-space scientific exploration missions requiring electric propulsion, or for surface missions;[BN 3 142] about 50 kW for the first lunar outposts;...
