NUCLEAR POWER AND PROPULSION IN SPACE

Rob Nuke · Rob Nuke

Hi, A while back, I read Anthony Tate's article Opening the Next Frontier dealing with a Gas Core Light Bulb SSTO. I was impressed by the potential performance that an GCLB SSTO could bring; however there's just one thing I need some clarification on. Most of the literature on the subject indicated th...

Guest: Dr. James A. Dewar. Dr. James Dewar returned to The Space Show to explain and discuss nuclear rockets and what they would mean for space and economic development were they to be used to obtain low cost space access. Dr. Dewar began our discussion with a good explanation of how a nuclear rocket en...

Magnetoplasmadynamic thrusters have the advantage that they can be scaled up to produce large amounts of thrust, while still maintaining the high ISP of ion drives: Magnetoplasmadynamic Thrusters. "Testing for these thrusters has demonstrated exhaust velocities of 100,000 meters per s...

Dr.Bussard and team, before he died, proposed using Polywell to power his rocket engine design. Dr.Bussard has a history with nuclear rockets, his KIWI project giving foundation to NERVA, and later many other nuclear rocket concepts. The proposal for KIWI was laid out before Sputnik was luanched...
