Book excerpt: The next giant leap for mankind will be the human exploration of Mars. Almost certainly within the next thirty years, a human crew will brave the isolation, the radiation, and the lack of gravity to walk on and explore the Red planet. However, because the mission distances and duration will be hundreds of times greater than the lunar missions, a human crew will face much greater obstacles and a higher risk than those experienced during the Apollo program. A single solution to many of these obstacles is to dramatically decrease the mission duration by developing a high performance propulsion system. The gas core nuclear rocket (GCNR) has the potential to be such a system. The gas core concept relies on the use of fluid dynamic forces to create and maintain a vortex. The vortex is composed of a fissile material which will achieve criticality and produce high power levels. By radiatively coupling to the surrounding fluids, extremely high temperatures in the propellant and, thus, high specific impulses can be generated. The ship velocities enabled by such performance may allow a 9 month round trip, manned Mars mission to be considered. Alternatively, one might consider slightly longer missions in ships that are heavily shielded against the intense Galactic Cosmic Ray flux to further reduce the radiation dose to the crew. The current status of the research program at the Los Alamos National Laboratory into the gas core nuclear rocket feasibility will be discussed.

Download or read book Feasibility of Colloid Core Nuclear Reactor for Rocket Propulsion written by Bobby N. Turman and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth study has been conducted to determine the feasibility of the colloid core nuclear reactor (CCNR) for rocket propulsion. Investigations of powder containment, reactor criticality, nuclear fuel vaporization, heat transfer, and wall erosion are discussed. Results are scaled and integrated to specify an optimized design reactor rocket engine. Rocket engine performance is evaluated with respect to velocity capability, type of fuel, and fuel loss rate. It is concluded that the CCNR rocket engine is technically feasible, that a thrust-to-weight ratio of 6:1 is obtainable at 20,000 lb thrust, and that the maximum specific impulse cannot exceed 1020 sec. Furthermore, results indicate that the CCNR shows significant performance advantages over chemical and other nuclear rocket engines for missions requiring payloads on the order of 10,000 lb, with large excess velocity capability. Recommendations are made as to the steps necessary to the further development of the colloid core nuclear reactor rocket. (Author).

Download or read book Gas Core Nuclear Thermal Rocket Engine Research and Development in the Former USSR. written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in 1957 and continuing into the mid 1970s, the USSR conducted an extensive investigation into the use of both solid and gas core nuclear thermal rocket engines for space missions. During this time the scientific and engineering. problems associated with the development of a solid core engine were resolved. At the same time research was undertaken on a gas core engine, and some of the basic engineering problems associated with the concept were investigated. At the conclusion of the program, the basic principles of the solid core concept were established. However, a prototype solid core engine was not built because no established mission required such an engine. For the gas core concept, some of the basic physical processes involved were studied both theoretically and experimentally. However, no simple method of conducting proof-of-principle tests in a neutron flux was devised. This report focuses primarily on the development of the. gas core concept in the former USSR. A variety of gas core engine system parameters and designs are presented, along with a summary discussion of the basic physical principles and limitations involved in their design. The parallel development of the solid core concept is briefly described to provide an overall perspective of the magnitude of the nuclear thermal propulsion program and a technical comparison with the gas core concept.
