The automatic control system (ACS) of the space nuclear reactor power system TOPAZ II that generates electricity from nuclear heat using in-core thermionic converters is considered. Sliding mode control technique is applied to the reactor system controller design in order to improve robustness and accuracy of tracking of a thermal power reference profile in a start-up regime and a payload current reference profile in an operation regime. Extensive simulations of the TOPAZ II reactor system with the designed sliding mode controller showed an improvement of the reactor system performance.
