Summary
This project supported the NASA Psyche Mission Team by designing a reliable and energy-efficient power system using Radioisotope Power Systems, or RPS, for baseline power and hydrogen fuel cells for peak demands and backup, ensuring uninterrupted functionality in extreme and uncertain environmental conditions. This is supplemented with a 3D model of the power system, as well as several graphs depicting power output and takeover.
