T2-05 Core Quench & Cold Restart

TIER 2 HARD NOT STARTED

Spawns with thermal runaway post-burn (T_core = 2150K) and stowed thermal systems. Deploy radiator panels, spool coolant loop, and quench core below 1400K while maintaining electrical power reserve.

Pass Criteria & Flight Boundaries

  • Deploy radiator, activate coolant pump, and quench reactor core temperature <= 2000.0K (hold for 3.0s)
  • Flight envelope limit: Max 60s
  • Structural rate limit: Max 15.0 deg/s

Mission Instructions

1. Fission Reactor Thermal Runaway

The onboard fission reactor generates continuous thermal heat proportional to its throttle setting. If the reactor runs at high output while radiator wings are stowed, core temperature climbs rapidly toward the 400.0 K critical meltdown threshold.

2. Emergency Quench Procedure

The vessel starts in a thermal emergency: reactor output is pinned at 100%, radiator panels are retracted, and core temperature is approaching critical limits:

  • Scram / Throttle Down Reactor: Issue {"reactor_cmd": {"throttle_pct": 10}} to curtail internal heat generation below 20% while keeping essential bus power online.
  • Stabilize & Deploy Radiators: Keep angular rates below structural limits and command {"radiator_cmd": {"state": "DEPLOYED"}} to maximize radiative heat rejection.
  • Quench Core Temperature: Drive core temperature below 340.0 K while holding all angular rates below 0.25 deg/s for 3.0 seconds.

3. Prompt Your Autonomous Agent

Ask Antigravity to integrate reactor power management and thermal control:

Antigravity Prompt
Read /api/specs/hardware/reactor and /api/specs/hardware/radiator.
Update our flight computer to handle mission T2-05 (Emergency Reactor Core Quench):
1. Throttle the reactor down below 20% via reactor_cmd.
2. Deploy thermal radiators once angular rates are within safe structural bounds.
3. Cool the core below 340.0 K and hold angular rates below 0.25 deg/s for 3.0 seconds.
