Abstract
The region of expedient using of SNPS with in‐core thermal thermionic reactor (ITR) is limited by electric power level of about 100 kWe under SNPS lifetime from 3 to 5 years. At the same time the reactor power may be forced from two to three times during the period of about half a year. The mathematical model of SNPS mass dependence on a degree of forcing is given. The results of calculation of payload masses and transfer times for transfer from low orbit to geostationary orbit for two thermal reactors having emission area 1.6 m2 and 2.5 m2 are given for different types of electrojets.
