Influence of the Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (MMRTG) on the local atmospheric environment
A survey around a recently-fueled MMRTG in the terrestrial atmosphere finds a warm air plume with a characteristic updraft velocity of ~1 m/s and a temperature rise of ~4 K. Additionally, a roughly hundredfold enhancement in ion density to ~70,000/cm(3) in the vicinity (<~1 m) of the generator...
