Future space nuclear power systems will require control and monitoring circuits for safe and optimum reactor performance. Space nuclear power is expected to play a key role in the advanced exploration of the outer solar system. Silicon carbide’s imperviousness to both heat and radiation will enable descent probes to return data from much deeper into the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn. For spacecraft operating near the Sun, silicon carbide electronics would enable significant reductions in spacecraft shielding and heat dissipation hardware, so that more scientific instruments could be included on each vehicle. Long-term operation of landers on Venus’s scorching 460 ☌ surface will require the use of uncooled silicon carbide electronics. Radiation hard high temperature silicon carbide electronics will play a key role in future missions to the solar system’s most hostile environments. Spacecraft with high temperature, radiation hard silicon carbide (SiC) electronics will enable challenging missions in both the inner and outer solar system.
