Feb 21, 2023 · NASA and Advanced Thermal Batteries, Inc. (ATB) are developing a high-temperature battery system to power a long-lived lander on the Venus surface. Based on short-lived battery systems used for powering missiles, this new battery approach has demonstrated high-temperature operation for unprecedented periods of time, laying the foundation for a ...
Oct 1, 2021 · The Venus environment makes electrical power systems for surface missions difficult. Analysis suggests radioisotope power systems could be adapted to operate on Venus. High temperature and low sunlight reduce power from solar arrays, possibly useable on small probes.

The present study analyzes a power system for a Venus surface lander3, consisting of a relay orbiter, a descent package, and a lander. The lander will be designed to live for 1 Venus solar day, or 117 Earth days, which is a significant leap from the survival time of the longest lived lander on the surface of Venus to date. The primary
