The second design combines Brayton conversion with the SP-100 reactor in an erectable 550-kWe powerplant concept intended to satisfy later-phase lunar base power requirements.
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,
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.
1 lut 2022 · The Stirling cycle combined with a liquid metal cooling reactor can achieve a power output of 100 kW, such as the SP-100 space reactor system design. The SP-100 space reactor was designed to be scalable from 10 s kWe to 100 s kWe with a generic design of 100 kWe, to accommodate a variety of missions ( Demuth, 2003 ).
1 maj 2024 · The lithium-cooled space reactor (LCSR), SP-100, was proposed to be coupled with thermoelectric convertor, closed Brayton cycle (CBC) and Stirling conversion systems (Dochat and Dhar, 2008). A design of coupling SP-100 reactor with He–Xe CBC system for lunar surface power system applications is proposed by NASA Lewis Research Center ( Mason ...
15 sty 1993 · An integration study was performed coupling an SP‐100 reactor with either a Brayton or Stirling power conversion subsystem. A power level of 100 kWe was selected for the study. The power system was to be compatible with both the lunar and Mars surface environment and require no site preparation.
