It was suggested that a class of Nuclear Thermal and Nuclear Electric Propulsion (NTP/NEP) systems proposed as part of the 2023 NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program could cut down the ...

Could nuclear propulsion be the breakthrough that takes humans to Mars more efficiently? This deep dive explores the ...

The best, in fact, the only, candidate for this is the Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP ... This is because the propellant doesn't provide any power. It's just reaction mass to be expelled to ...

Engineers developed an engine prototype which could reach unprecedented speeds, cutting down interplanetary travel time.

But if we are to expand humankind's firsthand reach into the solar system beyond the Moon, we need new, better, and more effective means of propulsion. Like, say, nuclear. Solar energy propulsion ...

A research team from KAIST Nuclear and Quantum Engineering presents an AI assesser for Hall-effect ion thrusters, the engines ...

NASA is working on a nuclear electric propulsion system that would involve ... if the whole radiator can't be launched at once, why not send it up in pieces and have robots assemble it off-planet?

NASA's MARVL project is developing a modular nuclear electric propulsion system for faster Mars travel. Robotic in-space assembly and advanced cooling tech could cut trip times in half.
