Requirements and restrictions of power system that must be considered in vehicle tradeoffs; characteristics that may be applied to possible systems to reduce number of candidate systems are power level, specific weight, mission duration, orientation requirements, and state-of-art; based on these criteria, solar cell, fuel cell, dynamic, and thermoelectric types of power systems are considered; basic characteristics of systems and comparison made for conditions simulating given mission; it is found that each of systems considered has unique area of application relative to vehicle or mission requirements.
