The temperature swing over lunar terrain is harsh and it can fall to as low as 70K during lunar nights in the polar region[1], which has significant interest as a preferred landing site. Most of the lunar rover designs incorporate, radioisotope heater units (RHU) to maintain the temperature during the nights. A 50W electrical power system(EPS) design for a Lunar rover, which does not contain a radioisotope heater units, is presented. The design approach adopted, provides wide operational…
