These conceptual designs, while providing complete conceptual layouts for these penetrators, or 'Tunnelbots' along with the associated communication 'Repeaters' primarily focused on the power and thermal systems needed for these devices. Trades for these systems will provide advantages and challenges for each option. These results will be used to guide power technology development.Document ID20190026714Acquisition SourceGlenn Research CenterDocument TypeTechnical Publication (TP)AuthorsOleson, Steven*(NASA Glenn Research Center Cleveland, OH, United States)*Newman, J.
