Scientists have been investigating nuclear thermal propulsion since the 1960s. When the Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicle Application program was active, Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists ...
Engineers say a nuclear thermal rocket could cut astronauts' travel time to Mars from nine months to two. Credit: NASA NASA and the U.S. military plan to test a nuclear-powered rocket engine in ...
Nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) was actively researched by NASA and other government agencies until the early 1970s. Such rockets were not intended to be launch vehicles (an NTP system lacks the ...
Nuclear thermal rockets already offer the highest Isp of launch-capable pure rocket propulsion systems, whereas the Supercharged Ejector Scramjet (SESJ, Ref. 8) and afterburning supersonic Rocket Fan ...
Nuclear thermal propulsion is a technology that can double the propellant efficiency of chemical rockets, cutting travel time by half. In a nuclear thermal rocket engine, a fission reactor ...
NASA and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a research arm of the US Defense Department, are once again setting their sights on a type of rocket engine that could be the holy grail for ...
Research into nuclear thermal rocket engines by NASA began in 1959. A key program in the 1960s, called the Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicle Application, even sought to demonstrate the technology ...
Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical savvy and wide-ranging interest in the technological arts and sciences, Ars ...
Nuclear thermal engines use a nuclear reaction to heat pure hydrogen, ideally to 2,800 degrees Kelvin (4,580 degrees Fahrenheit). This rapidly expands the hydrogen, which shoots out a nozzle to ...
The Pentagon is funding the world’s first nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) system for spacecraft. The goal is to send the rocket into low-Earth orbit in 2025.
The nuclear thermal rocket would allow transit between the moon and Mars to take less time while also reducing the risk for astronauts. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson speaks during a visit to the ...
Nuclear thermal reusable rockets April 7, 2017 February 7, 2012 by Brian Wang Paul March looked at approaches for developing a Space Launcher Infrastructure that can provide for safe & rapid transport ...
