POT develop and test the engine rocket nuclear power plant in space by 2027, allowing manned missions Mars.
For this program called DRACO (Demonstration Rocket for Operational Circumlunar Operations), the space agency signed an agreement with DARPAofficial US agency responsible for the development of new military technologies.
The last test of nuclear thermal engines for rockets conducted by the United States took place more than 50 years ago as part of the Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicles and Rover projects. POT.
Intelligence Benefits
According to POT, the use of a nuclear thermal rocket allows for shorter flight times, reducing the risk to astronauts. “Reducing travel time is a key component of human missions to Mars, as long trips require more consumables and more reliable systems. The development of faster and more efficient transport technologies will help POT to complete their tasks to the moon Mars”, the agency said in a statement.
Other benefits of spaceflight include increased scientific payloads and increased power for instrumentation and communications.
In a nuclear heat engine for rockets, the fission reactor is used to generate extremely high temperatures. The engine transfers the heat generated by the reactor to liquid fuel, which is expanded and expelled through a nozzle to propel the spacecraft. Nuclear thermal rockets can be three or more times more efficient than conventional chemical propulsion.
Under the agreement, the Space Engineering Mission Directorate (STMD) POT will lead the technical development of a nuclear thermal engine that will be integrated into an experimental spacecraft DARPA.
DARPA acts as the customer for the development of the entire stage and the engine, including the reactor. DARPA It will lead the overall program, including rocket system integration and acquisition, approval, programming and safety, security and liability, and global engine assembly and integration with the spacecraft.
