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.
1 lut 1989 · A conceptual design is presented for a nuclear power system utilizing an SP-100 reactor and multiple Stirling cycle engines for operation on the lunar surface.
The SP-100 program develops, validates, and demonstrates the technology for space nuclear power systems in the range of 10 to 1000 kilowatts electric for use in future military and civilian space missions.
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,
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.
1 lip 1994 · The current phase of the SP‐100 program was initiated in 1986 with the objectives of developing the technology for Space Reactor Power Systems (SRPSs) in the 10–1000 kWe power range and performing ground system tests of both nuclear and non‐nuclear major assemblies.
10 sty 1993 · The SP‐100 Space Reactor Power System (SRPS) is being developed by GE, under contract to the U.S. Department of Energy, to provide electrical power in the range of 10s to 100s of kW.
