NASA Tests Nuclear Rocket Engine Designed for Faster Deep-Space Missions
NASA has completed its first full-scale nuclear rocket reactor tests since the 1960s, marking a major milestone for deep-space propulsion. More than 100 cold-flow tests validated hydrogen flow and system stability. Nuclear thermal rockets could significantly reduce travel time, radiation exposure, and payload constraints for future Moon and Mars mi...
