Background
-
Thermoelectric power generators utilizing the Seebeck effect are in operation on multiple spacecraft throughout the Solar system, all of which are operating in environments considered extreme by Earth standards.
-
As we seek to expand our knowledge of the Solar system, it is critical that we understand how the environments our equipment may operate in will affect the ability of our equipment to complete the task they are designed to perform.
-
In this project, we examine the thermal properties of a Bismuth-Telluride TEG under vacuum conditions, air at 1atm, and CO2 at 1atm.
