The conventional Satellite or probe are designed for using solar cells. However, less sunlight mission's probe , such as exploring space farther than Jupiter or the Luna lava tube, hardly use solar cells. In this paper, we consider the conceptual design of the Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (RTG), which can keep generating 1 W for 40 years.
