Advanced nuclear power engine: A brief overview of gas core reactor for space exploration
Space travel requires propulsion with high specific impulse. Gas core reactors using plasma nuclear fuel operate at high temperature (104-105K) and theoretically produce higher specific impulses (2500-7000s) than solid core nuclear thermal rockets. Ground-based reactors have higher total energy conv...
