The thermal requirements for the MMRTG (Multi‐Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator) are presented, and many of the results assessed to date are discussed. In addition to the general requirements and results, some mission specific information for the Mars Science Lab (MSL) are presented as well. While the requirements that apply for all missions have been met, some specific issues with the requirements for the MSL are still in work and are discussed in this paper.
