Scientific paper

The current NASA Space Power Research and Technology Program, which is conducted to advance the technology base to meet the future energy needs of space technology, is reviewed. Major directions of the program in meeting short-term energy needs include the provision of high power levels at low cost for near-earth applications, and very high performance levels for future geosynchronous and planetary missions. Far-term projects are aimed at opportunities with the potential for radical change from currently accepted technologies. Specific technologies under consideration include photovoltaic energy conversion, chemical energy conversion and storage, and thermal-to-electric conversion, as well as power system management and distribution and advanced energetics.
