Scientific paper

This paper describes a conceptual design study addressing the application of SP-100 Space Reactor Power System technology to a Lunar Surface Power System (LSPS). Key functional, design and interface requirements are defined for the lunar outpost application. A conceptual design is presented for a 100 kWe LSPS that builds on the technology and design for the orbital SP-100 Generic Flight System (GFS). An overall power system architecture is described that relies on the sequential emplacement of four, 50 kWe thermoelectric LSPS units and two, 375 kWe Stirling LSPS units (or three 188 kWe HYTEC units) to meet lunar outpost load demand and availability requirements while maximizing flexibility and minimizing overall system mass. The optimum deployment scheme for the LSPS units to meet lunar outpost load is outlined.
