The power of thermionic energy conversion. (includes related articles on the Advanced Energy Systems division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and on energy conversion and power)

Thermionic energy conversion could be the technology used in future space exploration missions to the moon and Mars. France, the US and the former Soviet Union all began thermionic technology development in the 1950s and 1960s, and the Soviet Union has continued extensive research and developed the...

Zusammenfassung:	Thermionic energy conversion could be the technology used in future space exploration missions to the moon and Mars. France, the US and the former Soviet Union all began thermionic technology development in the 1950s and 1960s, and the Soviet Union has continued extensive research and developed the Topaz-I and Topaz-II thermionic reactors. The US would benefit if it utilized Soviet thermionic reactor technology in future commercial, military and civilian space missions.
