Future U.S. Air Force space misions will require significantly more electrical power than missions in the past, requiring the development of lightweight, high-power systems. By utilizing space-proven concepts and components, Rockwell International has developed a space nuclear power system to meet future Air Force needs. This reactor power system called SNAP-DYN, utilizes the proven SNAP reactor combined with the dynamic power conversion system technology being developed on the Dynamic Isotope Power System (DIPS) program. Low mass combined with high efficiency results in a truly state-of-the-art power system that can be ready in 5 years to meet future military and civilian space power program needs.
