Abstract
This paper is an overview of how future deployment of space reactors would be supported by an operating space reactor ground facility. Such a facility would be used to train ground controllers, mission planners, and flight crews. Operating procedures, planning for off‐normal contingencies, and in‐flight reprogramming would be generated at such a facility. To avoid communication time delays, reactor operating trends would be established to allow ground controllers to spot a potential problem. The ongoing efforts at the Hanford Ground Engineering System Test Site could play an important supporting role in establishing a permanent space reactor facility.
