Human space flight to Mars is dependent on the development of nuclear power for propulsion and power purposes. Our research for the 2005 RGSFOP was focused on testing the feasibility of a centripetally fluidized bed gas-core reactor. This two-phase test will generate data necessary to correlate previous experiments with modified neutron interaction and heat transfer models of the new core design.
