This paper reviews the development history and research progress of the He-Xe Brayton cycle in space reactors and summarizes the research progress of key technical problems and key research directions. The current research mainly focuses on the characteristics of He-Xe mixture working medium

the key components of the He-Xe Brayton cycle

and the dynamic characteristics and control strategy of the cycle. The key technical issues to be further investigated include high precision physical properties and flow heat transfer modeling of helium-xenon working medium with different helium-xenon ratios

the design and testing of high-performance impellers and high-efficiency compact heat exchangers

optimization of the whole working condition of the system under different power levels

and the global dynamic characteristics and control strategy of the coupled reactor system. The analysis results provide a reference for advancing the development of the He-Xe Brayton cycle in space reactors.
