A new test of nuclear propellant fuel under space-like conditions has been hailed as a success by NASA and General Atomics ...

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

NASA and General Atomics tested the fuel by exposing it to temperatures up to 3,000 Kelvin (4,940 Fahrenheit or 2,727 Celsius ...

I will review that the nuclear thermal rocket program is taking and will take far longer. Also, triple the ISP does not cut the travel time by one third. There is no discussion by supporters of ...

Scientists have thought about attaching nuclear, thermal-rocket engines to ammonia-heavy asteroids and redirecting the asteroids so that they crash into Mars and release the meteor's ammonia and ...

As the heated propellant expands, it’s ultimately exhausted out of a nozzle in much the same way as in a traditional rocket. It’s also similar to the concept of nuclear thermal propulsion ...

Explore the Hibiscus satellite, a cutting-edge thermal imaging satellite designed for affordable, high-resolution hear ...
