When The space development becomes indispensable in thinking about the human future. The purpose of the space development is development of the human being society and research of the origin of the human. In NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), JAXA (Japan Aerospace eXploration Agency) and domestic and foreign private enterprises, the space development of the 21st century to aim at the moon and a planet of the deep space becomes popular. In such a space development, a space rocket having strong driving force and a stable high-power electrical generator are important.
An outline about nuclear reactor promotion rocket and RTG (Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator) are introduced here. In addition, Kilopower and ASRG (Advanced Stirling Radioisotope Generator) are considered as a development example of the electrical generators corresponding to the space utilization of the Stirling engine.
