Abstract
Current energy sources for space missions primarily include solar panels and nuclear power. However, these methods face limitations such as reduced efficiency at greater distances from the Sun and potential safety risks associated with nuclear waste. This document introduces a steam turbine generator that leverages the temperature extremes found in space, thereby offering a continuous and reliable power source for deep-space missions.
