Radioisotope Power System, aka Space Batteries, provide electricity and heat to planetary rovers such as Curiosity on Mars, and to spacecraft or satellites, such as New Horizons, which flew to Pluto in July 2015. Both of these most recently launched nuclear-enabled missions are carrying power systems that were assembled and tested in southeast Idaho. Learn how Idaho National Laboratory got involved in these exciting NASA missions, what specifically is involved in making the batteries, and what comes next.
