electricity thermo thermoelectric thermoelectrical			A small thermoelectric generator using the material could make cars more efficient. Packing Heat by Thomas Grose / ASEE Prism Interspersed among the entries are 15 longer articles on such topics as the role of radioisotope thermoelectric generator in space exploration, space technology and national security, space-age archaeology, consequences of interstellar contact, NASA exploration of the inner solar system, and the cosmic consequences of space exploration. Encyclopedia of space and astronomy by SciTech Book News With the continuation of this project, combined with the ongoing development of a Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator for the 2009 Mars Science Laboratory mission, Teledyne is on track to provide high reliability power solutions for many of NASA's planned manned and unmanned space exploration missions.
