and future potential of nuclear electric and nuclear thermal propulsion systems, which could revolutionize our ability to explore Mars and beyond — both robotically and with human crews.

Nuclear pulse propulsion is a technology that would work. It was being developed in the 1960s but it was stopped because of the nuclear test ban treaty and concerns over fallout inside the ...

a nuclear thermal rocket engine developed from 1965 through the 1980s. These reactors were intended to become part of a Nuclear-Thermal Propulsion (NTP) system, where heat generated by the slow ...

The original Pillar One pact is for the US to sell between three and five subs to Australia, then Australia to use US and UK nuclear propulsion technology to build another three-to-eight nuclear ...

The UK’s Fleet Solid Support (FSS) programme has reached a major milestone with the successful Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) of two main propulsion engines and the first diesel generator for the lead ...

In a 2023 interview with IE, former NASA astronaut and Ad Astra founder Franklin Chang Diaz said funding was the main stumbling block to sending his nuclear electric propulsion engine to orbit.

Nuclear technology firm Core Power contends that the use of advanced nuclear reactor technologies, such as small modular reactors, on ships presents a significant opportunity to decarbonize the ...

a new class action lawsuit has been filed by a WP Engine customer against Automattic, with several media outlets describing the lawsuit as a 'nuclear war' that could potentially affect hundreds of ...

Not only are investments in propulsion critical to any new breakthroughs, as our colleague Graham Warwick observed on these pages last week. The details of any new trend in engines also serve to ...

For these newbuilds, Cheoy Lee contracted MAN to deliver eight 175D-MM marine propulsion engines with 12 cylinders in V formation, two for each tugboat. These high-speed, four-stroke engines, rated at ...

LONDON—Hill Helicopters is on track to fire up its internally developed GT50 turboshaft engine for its HX/HC50 family of single-engine light helicopters this summer, company founder Jason Hill ...

It is unlike chemical propulsion that involves combustion and high thrust, but instead, these systems-electrical, nuclear, and solar sail propulsion-will offer extensive operational life ...
