Abstract

The schematic design of a space nuclear power system is suggested that is fitted with a radiating cooler, which deploys and forms a part of the radiation protection cone once a spacecraft has been inserted into its orbit. The principle of selecting a design of a capillary structure for heat pipes with high thermal output (hundreds of kilowatts) is proposed. Comparison is drawn between heat pipes having the proposed and the conventional design. The advantages of the proposed design of heat pipes are shown by calculation results.
