ESA future missions: Challenges for power generators

Currently ESA is considering a variety of missions which extend from extreme near-sun environment at Mercury out to Jupiter and beyond. These missions impose dramatically different environments (illumination intensity, operating temperature, particle radiation). This paper will discuss the challenge...
