NETS - 2016 Nuclear and Emerging Technologies for Space ANS Aerospace Nuclear Science and Technology Division Universities Space Research Association About This Mee ng Full proceedings on jump drive/memory s ck About the Mee ng Full proceedings on jump In February 2016, The Aerospace Nuclear Science and Technology Division Copyright © 2016 (ANSTD) of the American Nuclear Society (ANS) will hold the 2016 Nuclear drive and Emerging Technologies for Space (NETS 2016) topical mee ng at the Von Braun Center in Hunstville, AL. NETS 2016 is the premier conference for landed and in-space applica on in 2016. With authors from universi es, na onal laboratories, NASA facili es and industry, NETS 2016 will provide an excellent communica on network and forum for informa on exchange. Topic Areas NASA is currently considering capabili es for robo c and crewed missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Strategies that implement advanced power and propulsion technologies, as well as radia on protec on, will be important to accomplishing these missions in the future. NETS serves as a major communica ons network and forum for professionals and students working in the area of space nuclear and management personnel from interna onal government, industry, academia, and na onal laboratory systems. To this end, the NETS 2016 mee ng will address topics ranging from overviews of current programs to methods of mee ng the challenges of future endeavors. 2 3 Conference Organizers Conference Organizers Omar Mireles, PhD Lee Mason Mike Houts, PhD Nathan Jerred Margaret Marshall Delisa Rogers General Chair Honorary Chair Honorary Chair Publica ons Publica ons Logis cs and FInance NASA Marshall Space NASA Glenn Research Center NASA Marshall Space Center for Space Idaho Na onal Laboratory Center for Space Flight Center Flight Center Nuclear Research, USRA Nuclear Research, USRA [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Patrick McClure Daniel Cavender Sal Ori Wesley Deason Chris Morrison Jarvis Caff rey Technical Chair, FSP Technical Chair, NTP Technical Chair, RPS Publica ons Webmaster A/V Coordinator Los Alamos Na onal NASA Marshall Space NASA Glenn Research Center Interna onal Atomic Rensselaer Polytechnic NASA Marshall Space Laboratory Flight Center Energy Agency Ins tute Flight Center [email protected] [email protected] salvatore.m.ori @nasa.gov [email protected] [email protected] jarvis.a.caff [email protected] 4 5 Session Chairs Sponsor Track I: Radioisotope Power Systems Technical Chair: Sal Ori , NASA Glenn Research Center June Sakrajsek NASA - Glenn Research Center Steve Johnson, PhD Idaho Na onal Laboratory Becky Onuschak DOE - NE 75 Carl Sandifer NASA - Glenn Research Center Jean-Pierre Fleurial Jet Propulsion Laboratory Ed Lewandowski NASA - Glenn Research Center Aerojet Rocketdyne is a world-recognized aerospace and defense leader Wayne Wong NASA - Glenn Research Center providing propulsion and energe cs to the domes c and interna onal Richard Ambrosi, PhD University of Leicester space, missile defense and strategic systems, tac cal systems and arma- Robert Wham Oak Ridge Na onal Laboratory ments areas, and transforma onal energy technology solu ons to address Tom Sutliff NASA - Glenn Research Center the world’s energy needs.
