The development of a 1 kW(e) Stirling Isotope Power System (SIPS) is underway. This paper reports upon the design, construction, and predicted performance of SIPS. The basic elements of the system are a 3900 watt plutonium (238) dioxide heat source, a Stirling cycle thermal converter driving twin alternators, controls, waste heat rejection loop, insulation, and auxiliary and emergency cooling subsystems for the heat source. The SIPS is designed to deliver more than 1 kW(e) at 100 Vdc with an overall system efficiency approaching 30 %. It is designed to operate continuously and unattended for periods of six months with only routine maintenance between operation periods.
