The invention will be responsible for dissipating the excess heat generated by the nuclear reactor. The assembly of this large radiator in ... for an increase in the rocket's maximum capacity ...

designed to regulate the intense heat generated by the nuclear reactor. The system uses liquid metal coolant, such as a sodium-potassium alloy, circulated through massive radiator panels.

A revolutionary nuclear electric ... led by heat transfer engineer Amanda Stark, aims to solve a key NEP issue—heat dissipation—by designing modular radiator panels that can be assembled ...

Nozzle Cooling: Test a small water-cooling system for the rocket nozzle using high-temperature heat sources (like plasmas) to mimic the heat of a nuclear reaction. Check if it can handle the heat ...

As humanity’s ambitions to send humans to Mars grow, the challenge of getting there in a timely and safe manner becomes more ...

While this latest test doesn’t make nuclear-powered rocket engines viable just yet, it’s an important step on the journey. This latest batch of tests was conducted at the compact fuel element ...
