Abstract

In April of 2000, thermal vacuum testing was performed on one of the Multi-Hundred Watt (MHW) Radioisotopic Thermoelectric Generator (RTG) units that were fabricated in the early 1970's for the Voyager mission. The MHW RTG units are configured with electrical heaters, which allowed the varying of input power, so the output power could be measure at different input levels. The results of a thermal vacuum test earlier this year showed the generators are still in good working order. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
