SP-100 (Space reactor Prototype [1]) was a U.S. research program for nuclear fission reactors usable as small fission power systems for spacecraft. [2] It was started in 1983 by NASA , the US Department of Energy and other agencies.
1 Απρ 2003 · The SP100 space nuclear reactor was designed for use as an orbital power supply, lunar or Martian surface power station, and power supply for nuclear electric propulsion, with a scaleable power range of 10's kWe to 100's kWe.
DARPA, in conjunction with DOE`s Office of Nuclear Energy, and NASA`s Office of Aeronautics and Space Technology are jointly sponsoring a space nuclear reactor power system program known as the Space Power-100 (SP-100) Development Project.
The NASA, DOD, and DOE triagency SP-100 Pro- gram has recently embarked on a major effort to demonstrate the technology readiness of nuclear reactor space power systems for space applications by 1992. This program is termed the SP-100 ground engineerin system (GES) in which system safety and typica? reactor and aerospace (conversion,
An update on the SP-100 reactor subsystem design and performance is provided. Several key requirements have influenced the design substantially as the more deta.
SP-100 reactor for lunar surface power system applications. Two designs were characterized and modeled. The first design integrates a 100-kWe SP-100 Brayton power system with a lunar lan-der. This system is intended to meet early lunar mission power needs while minimizing on-site installation requirements.
A significant portion of the SP-100 Project is aimed at identifying plausible missions, determining their requirements, and identifying space nuclear reactor systems that would be capable of meeting these requirements. These system identification activities are being closely followed by the development of enabling technology. To insure that the
