Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
The NASA Office of Aeronautics, Exploration, and Technology (OAET) supports a research and technology (R and T) program in electric propulsion to provide the basis for increased performance and life of electric thruster systems which can have a major impact on space system performance, including orbital transfer, stationkeeping, and planetary exploration. The program is oriented toward providing high-performance options that will be applicable to a broad range of near-term and far-term missions and vehicles. The program, which is being conducted through the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Lewis Research Center (LeRC) includes research on resistojet, arcjets, ion engines, magnetoplasmadynamic (MPD) thrusters, and electrodeless thrusters. Planning is also under way for nuclear electric propulsion (NEP) as part of the Space Exploration Initiative (SEI). Bennett, Gary L. and Watkins, Marcus A. and Byers, David C. and Barnett, John W. Glenn Research Center; Jet Propulsion Laboratory ...

Summary and Recommendations on Nuclear Electric Propulsion Technology for the Space Exploration Initiative
Author: National Aeronautics and Space Adm Nasa
Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN: 9781731319760
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
A project in Nuclear Electric Propulsion (NEP) technology is being established to develop the NEP technologies needed for advanced propulsion systems. A paced approach has been suggested which calls for progressive development of NEP component and subsystem level technologies. This approach will lead to major facility testing to achieve TRL-5 for megawatt NEP for SEI mission applications. This approach is designed to validate NEP power and propulsion technologies from kilowatt class to megawatt class ratings. Such a paced approach would have the benefit of achieving the development, testing, and flight of NEP systems in an evolutionary manner. This approach may also have the additional benefit of synergistic application with SEI extraterrestrial surface nuclear power applications. Doherty, Michael P. and Holcomb, Robert S. Glenn Research Center FLIGHT TESTS; MISSION PLANNING; NUCLEAR ELECTRIC PROPULSION; SPACE EXPLORATION; SPACECRAFT PROPULSION; PROPULSION SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS; PROPULSION SYSTEM PERFORMANCE...

Book Description
This study has been made to assess the needs, potential benefits and the applicability of early (circa year 2000) Nuclear Electric Propulsion (NEP) technology in conducting NASA science missions. The study goals are: to obtain the performance characteristics of near term NEP technologies; to measure the performance potential of NEP for important OSSA missions; to compare NEP performance with that of conventional chemical propulsion; to identify key NEP system requirements; to clarify and depict the degree of importance NEP might have in advancing NASA space science goals; and to disseminate the results in a format useful to both NEP users and technology developers. This is a mission performance study and precludes investigations of multitudes of new mission operation and systems design issues attendant in a NEP flight.
