BS>The efficiency and life expectancy of thermionic energy converters for space applications were studied. The objectlve of the program is to determine the feasibility and to demonstrate the practicality of a three- electrode thermionic converter having a third, positive ion-producing electrode, an efficiency of not less than 15%; an unattended life of not less than one year; and a maximum temperature of 1500 Kelvin. An approach using impact ionization will be pursued. (auth)
