Title
Recommended Design Practices for Conceptual Nuclear Fusion Space Propulsion Systems
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 2004
Scope:
This document provides recommended design practices for
conceptual engineering studies of nuclear fusion space propulsion
systems. Discussion and recommendations are included on key topics
including design reference missions, degree of technological
extrapolation and concomitant risk, thoroughness in calculating
mass properties (nominal mass properties, weight-growth
contingency, propellant margins, and specific impulse), and
thoroughness in calculating power generation and usage (power-flow,
power contingencies, specific power). This report represents a
general consensus of the nuclear fusion space propulsion system
conceptual design community. It is intended for technically
experienced senior engineers who may not be fully cognizant of all
primary aspects of nuclear fusion space propulsion system design,
and who desire a useful guide in the development of credible
concepts.
