David Buden was involved in the development and management of various advanced nuclear power systems. These included the development of nuclear reactors for propulsion of airplanes, nuclear rockets for space exploration, and nuclear reactor power systems for space exploration. He served on the Stafford Synthesis Group for Moon and Mars exploration to define architectures for space exploration. He also had assignments at the Strategic Defense Initiatives Office and NASA headquarters. He co-authored Space Nuclear Power and published over 100 technical papers, co-chaired major technical meetings, and was a member of key distinguished panels. For operating in severe environments, long life and reliability, radioisotope power systems have proven to be the most successful of all space power sources. Two Voyager missions launched in 1977 to study Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and their satellites, rings and magnetic fields and continuing to the heliosphere region are still functioning over thirty years later. Radioisotope power systems have been used on the Moon, exploring the planets, and exiting our solar system. There success is a tribute to the outstanding engineering, quality control and attention to details that went into the design and production of radioisotope power generation units. Space nuclear radioisotope systems take the form of using the thermal energy from the decay of radioisotopes and converting this energy to electric power. Reliability and safety are of prime importance. Mission success depends on the ability of being able to safely launch the systems and on having sufficient electrical power over the life of the mission. Graceful power degradation over the life of a mission is acceptable as long as it is within predictable limits. Electrical power conversion systems with inherent redundancy, such as thermoelectric conversion systems, have been favored to date. Also, radioactive decay heat has been used to maintain temperatures in spacecraft at acceptable conditions for other components. This book describes how radioisotope systems work, the requirements and safety design considerations, the various systems that have been developed, and their operational history.
