Front and back pages creased. Considers Space Nuclear Auxiliary Power program and plans for utilization of isotopic reactor or solar powered space electric power systems. Includes "Preliminary SNAPSHOT-1 Performance Summary" AEC report p. 135-230.<br /> Witnesses from the Air Force Atomic Energy Commission Atomics International General Atomic Lockheed Missiles & Space Company and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration testified. Nuclear power in space is the use of nuclear power in outer space typically either small fission systems or radioactive decay for electricity or heat. One common type is a radioisotope thermoelectric generator which has been used on many space probes and on manned lunar missions and another is small fission reactors for Earth observation satellites such as the TOPAZ nuclear reactor. A radioisotope heater unit provides heat from radioactive decay of a material and can potentially produce heat for decades. The United States tested a nuclear reactor in space for 43 days in 1965. While not yet tested in space the test of the Demonstration Using Flattop Fission DUFF on September 13 2012 was the first test of a nuclear reactor power system for space since then. Examples of nuclear power for space propulsion systems include nuclear electric rocket radioisotope rocket and radioisotope electric propulsion. One of the more explored is the nuclear thermal rocket which was tested in the NERVA program. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback
