Abstract

A systems treatment of the dynamic behavior of nuclear rocket propulsion systems is presented. This simplified analysis does represent the basic ideas of more detailed computer studies. Nuclear reactor systems for space propulsion are much faster than conventional reactor systems which complicates the controls problem. (The dynamics of chemical systems have been simpler in nature due to their speed of response.) One attractive solution, which uses the propellant reactivity, is discussed.
