Nuclear-powered satellite studies
Abstract
Discussions of several aspects are included: e.g., schedule, personnel, and technology developments. The reporting period represents the final 18 months of activities of a project which was designed to provide continuing support in the area of nuclear space power technology. Results were obtained and communicated to the scientific community via publications and presentations. Project personnel participated in point design efforts, a NASA Space Power Committee, and periodically provided support to Department of Energy activities as the need arose. This final report is intended to summarize activities over the life of the project.
