Scientists are developing a centrifugal nuclear thermal rocket (CNTR) that uses liquid uranium to significantly increase propulsion efficiency, potentially enabling faster and safer missions to Mars and beyond, with the goal of reaching design readiness within five years.
Researchers are making progress on the centrifugal nuclear thermal rocket (CNTR), a new type of nuclear propulsion that could nearly double the specific impulse of traditional systems by using liquid uranium fuel in a centrifuge, though significant engineering challenges remain, particularly in uranium containment and vaporization management.
Researchers are advancing a new nuclear rocket technology called the Centrifugal Nuclear Thermal Rocket (CNTR), which uses liquid uranium and rotational mechanics to potentially double the specific impulse of traditional nuclear thermal propulsion systems, though significant engineering challenges remain, particularly in uranium containment and vaporization management.
