NUCLEAR POWER AND PROPULSION IN SPACE

John · John

Leaving aside for the moment the political problems, what do people think about a nuclear powered replacement for the space shuttle? In this case we are talking nuclear thermal with specific impulse of maybe 850-900 sec. This should allow a comfortable single stage to orbit capability using LH2...

What is the highest temperature that we could "Pipe" hot hydrogen over appreciable distences at. What is the highest "steady state" temperature that a gas cooled reactor could opperate at? Could we manage >2000K? Dusty
