Design Options to Address Submersion Criticality for Low-Enriched Uranium Nuclear Thermal Propulsion Rocket
Missions to Mars with eventual establishment of a Mars base/colony will require a versatile and consistent transportation method between Earth and Mars. Nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) is well suited to be the main propulsion mechanism for interspace travel due to its high specific impulse. In orde...
