Title
Satellite reactors.
Abstract
The article focuses on the analysis by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory regarding nuclear reactors aboard satellites. According to the analysis, supersatellites of the future would require 50 to 100 kilowatts. The report has said that nuclear reactors could be safely used aboard large satellites that will be lifted into the earth's orbit by space shuttles in the 1980s.
