Atomic Power in Space II: A History | Chapters 1-2
Atomic Power in Space II is a sequel to Atomic Power in Space (published by DOE in 1987). Beginning with a brief overview of the programs and systems developed through the late 1970s, Atomic Power in Space II traces the development and use of space nuclear power systems, including the missions and programs for which they were developed, to the present day. The history is written largely in non technical language so as to be useful to the general reader as well as the seasoned space nuclear professional.
