The Use of Radioactive Isotopes and Nuclear Reactors in Space Application: Propulsion and Power concept
As we know that men have insatiable thirst in exploration and discovery especially to unfold the mysteries of universe. There are lots of frontiers that could be covered in space exploration but unfortunately, there are some reasons which affect it. Firstly, the distances to be covered are extremely large, this large distance in outer space makes it very difficult to prospect for an astronaut i...
متن کاملPower Accounting for Ship Electric Propulsion
Coarse and accurate power accounting methods for ship electric propulsion are observed and compared. For the purpose of analysis, the propulsion system has been separated into two units, namely the ship load and the motor drive. In the load model, variation of such factors like static and dynamic hull resistance and efficiency is explored while the supply characteristics, drive loading, propell...
متن کاملDevelopment of Hollow Cathodes for Space Electric Propulsion at Sitael
Hollow cathodes are electron sources used for the gas ionization and the beam neutralization in both ion and Hall effect thrusters (HETs). A reduction of power and propellant consumption from the cathode is particularly needed in small satellite applications, where power and mass budgets are inherently limited. Concurrently, the interest in high-power HETs is increasingly fostered for a number ...
متن کاملAdvanced Hall Electric Propulsion for Future In - Space Transportation
The Hall thruster is an electric propulsion device used for multiple in-space applications including orbit raising, on-orbit maneuvers, and de-orbit functions. These in-space propulsion functions are currently performed by toxic hydrazine monopropellant or hydrazine derivative/nitrogen tetroxide bi-propellant thrusters. The Hall thruster operates nominally in the 1500 s specific impulse regime....
متن کاملNuclear Power Reactors in the United States
The sudden surge toward nuclear power throughout the world has given rise to some serious questions about its potential effect on many facets of our complex civilization. The social, economic, military, and geopolitical implications are staggering and far beyond the comprehension of most of us. Of immediate and practical concern to all, however, is the impact of nuclear power on our local envir...
