Nuclear facilities in transport
Bartošek, Nikola ; Maar, Tomáš (referee) ; Suk, Ladislav (advisor)
Bachelor thesis summarizes a basic overview of the use of nuclear facilities in transport. It focuses on the development and application of technology. Brief introduction mentions the development of nuclear physics and the search for suitable applications at the beginning of the nuclear age. Main part deals with use of nuclear devices in maritime and space transport. It discusses the types of reactors used in nuclear submarines, navy and civil ships. The issues of decommissioning and dismantling nuclear vessels are mentioned. Next the technology of radioisotope and reactor generators is described. In the last part the possibilities of using nuclear power for thermal rockets and ion engines are pointed out.

Flying atmospheric carrier for rocket launches
Musil, Tomáš ; Mašek, Jakub (referee) ; Daněk, Vladimír (advisor)
The main objective of this thesis is to introduce the reader to the problematics of air-launch and to a custom design solution applying this concept. The specifics of this method of bringing a payload into orbit are described and explained. Overview of projects which use aircraft to launch spacecraft is included. Determination of primary parameters of a launch vehicle designed to carry a payload of a specified mass is conducted. The required flight performance has been estimated, a computational model has been developed in software MATLAB, and a multidisciplinary optimization of the design parameters has been performed using a genetic algorithm optimization method. Parameters of the designed air-launched rocket are compared with those of a ground-launched rocket. According to the specific criteria, the Airbus A310-300 aircraft was selected as the most suitable transport aircraft to be used for launching the designed launch vehicle. The last part of the thesis is devoted to the proposal of necessary modifications and estimation of the flight performance.
