Lunar Power Transmission for Fission Surface PowerThis work reviews key considerations and challenges in the implementation of lunar power transmission for the 40 kW Fission Surface Power (FSP) System. The overall FSP electric power flow is presented, and potential bulk power transmission strategies are discussed. Metallic conductors operate at elevated voltage are identified as the most efficient and feasible solution, and hardware implementation challenges for AC and DC voltage boost are discussed. This work is intended to drive progress on identifying the most feasible power transmission strategy for landed fission power and does not represent consensus or preference by NASA regarding a particular course of action
