Space and Terrestrial Power Systems for Extreme Environments, Including Thermal Challenges and Solutions

Room: 210, Bldg: Student center, Seattle University, 901 12th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122, Seattle, Washington, United States, 98039, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/473247

Please join an exciting talk by Dr. Terry Hendricks -Technical Program Director in Blue Origin LLC. P.E., IEEE Senior Member, ASME Fellow Dr. Hendricks will introduce himself and his most recent past work to the IEEE Seattle Section community. He will present and discuss his work in space and terrestrial power systems; power systems in Jupiter, Mars, Lunar and Earth-orbit applications; most recent thermal and power challenges in Mars and Lunar spacecraft designs; advanced spacecraft design for Europa and other Icing Worlds ice penetration; and radioisotope thermoelectric power systems, solar power systems, and Stirling power systems in these space and terrestrial applications. The presentation will cover key design metrics and challenges, such as hot- and cold-side temperatures, targeted power outputs, and remaining technical gaps. Dr. Hendricks will also briefly review his most-recent, revolutionary work in thermoelectric system economic analysis, and the critical conclusions impacting the transition of thermoelectric and Stirling space power systems into terrestrial applications. He will also briefly discuss his past Department of Energy work in automotive and industrial energy recovery. He will provide his perspectives and thoughts on future engineering challenges of moving our earthly activities off into space to diminish current and future pressures on our planet, Earth. Dr. Hendricks will invite an open question-and-answer dialogue at the end of the presentation to foster and stimulate innovative and thought-provoking discussion.
