Voyager-1 600-Year BCS Superconductor Stress Test: 4-Scenario Power Budget Simulation (1977–2577)

Full 600-year simulation of Voyager-1 RTG power decay under four superconductor scenarios using BCS theory and real RTG decay constants. Key results:• Scenario A — Conventional (54.95 W, fails year 2249, lifespan 272 yr)• Scenario B — SC-integrated Mg7Li0.30B0.15H Tc=262.4 K: activates only if T_FDS < 262.4 K (heater active until 2529; SC never activates while heater is on)• Scenario C — SC-module at 30 K (2.80 W, lifespan 600 yr, +328 yr vs conventional) ← KEY RESULT• Scenario D — MgH6 UHE Tc=290 K, QCI=0.98 (speculative, 334-339 GPa DAC): active from 1977 day-1, lifespan 570 yrThermoelectric recovery candidates: ZrH1.66 QCI=0.77 +4.5 W/RTG; Mg2FeH6 QCI=0.69 +5.9 W/RTG via dislocation reduction.Power saving SC-module vs conventional: 94.9%.Simulation: 600 yearly data points (1977–2577), RTG power model, FDS thermal budget, BCS gap and Jc(T) per scenario.Related: TRINITY framework (doi:10.5281/zenodo.19484195).
