Examination of environmental factors, i.e., atmosphere, or lack of atmosphere, forces on system and anticipated meteoroid population in space; establishment of criteria; anticipated requirement for high power systems (100 kw to several Mw) in space led to development of nuclear turbogenerators; effects of environmental factors on thermodynamic cycle determination, materials selection, and component mechanical design; details of 500 kw space power system, under study by General Electric, and system complications.
