About the NASA Power to Explore Challenge:

"And 3, 2, 1…lift off! NASA has officially launched its second Power to Explore Student Challenge, calling on K-12 students in the United States to learn about Radioisotope Power Systems (RPS), and then design a new RPS-powered space mission that would energize their space exploration dreams. RPS is a type of nuclear “battery” that, for over 60 years, has enabled many spacecraft to explore some of the harshest, darkest environments, as well as the farthest reaches of our solar system."
