Pub Science: From Dayton to Mars and Beyond

Though the Space Coast in Florida is host to some of NASA’s most impressive missions, Dayton has its own stellar claim to fame—the “nuclear battery”, which was locally developed over 60 years ago and forms the basis for all of the radioisotope power systems that power NASA’s deep-space missions today. Join Dr. Chadwick D. Barklay of the UD Research Institute to learn more about the legacy of this pioneering work, and how the University of Dayton continues to keep this legacy alive
