Space nuclear systems (SNS) have been launched into space for over 50 years. The SNS have evolved during this time in an effort to improve their safety and meet the needs of mission planners. The launch approval process has also evolved and with commercial space on the horizon will need to continue to adapt. Ensuring the safety of persons while allowing society to benefit from technological advancements is a balancing act. The course is intended to provide the participant with an introduction to SNS and associated launch approval processes. The participant will gain an understanding of the design of SNS, the approval process for launch of SNS, hazards associated with a failed launch of SNS, and contingency planning.
