A little more detail: The difference between the proposed nuclear thermal engines and the nuclear powered satellites that NASA has been using for decades is the former actually involves a fission reactor while the latter is just using the heat of decay from a lump of radioactive material to produce electricity.

@mrzoinky5999 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah the Cassini probe, Perseverance rover etc use an RTG (Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator) which uses a non-enriched Plutonium source that as it decays produces heat. So you have heat from that on one side of a thermocouple junction, and the cold of space on the other side of that thermocouple junction and you get a voltage produced. It's only a couple hundred Watts, but it lasts a LONG time. These are expensive items to produce and on Earth we have so many other/better options for producing electricity.

The biggest barrier to faster space exploration/technology development is, as always, political will - you have to motivate politicians to CARE enough about it, which primarily means "vote winner" to fund. A space race, where countries want to be the best/first to reach new goals is an EXCELLENT motivator, so a space race between the USA, China and Russia is a GOOD thing!

An idea I had, similar to your video, was autonomous cargo ships (no crew) that land on Mars and waits. Preplan long trips (years) knowing they'll always occur. Fuel requirements would be the launch rockets like Space X's, then nuclear or ion propulsion could take over till we reach Mars, then enough fuel to land autonomously. The rest is storage for anything. Individual fuel chemicals, building materials, etc.

Hello , Rocket-Folk ! 🤓 You are discussing chemical-fuels here ; and have already acknowledged that nuclear propulsion-systems are less than ideal for manned and S.T.O. operations . You are correct in your presumption that most solid-rocket propellants are not efficient enough for the above ; their specific-impulses are just too low . There is however , a combination that does have the necessary performance , while offering the simplicity/durability of solid-rocket operation . This combination is hydrazinediium and hydrogen-pentoxide ; frozen-solid at below 30°F . The Hy&Ox molecular-bonds are fairly weak , so the atoms let go easily . The non-cryogenic temps also consume far less energy than cryogenic propellents . The end result is a solid-rocket with hydrolox-like performance . Safety does demand specific architectures , in order to mitigate the possible risks . I have written about this in other venues , and will hint at one in a Comment below .

Nuclear energy is actually rather safe if you have a good handle on it, almost all accidents have occurred due to human error and old technology that was not receiving the funding it needed due to public image, with our current know how, we could build cheap high quality nuclear reactors that could even recycle nuclear waste and produce no green house gas, however with the image and funding being put to this topic, it just won’t happen, in fact, more reactors are being torn down than built, and right in a time when people are looking for an energy source to replace coal until renewable energy is to the level it needs to be. Btw there are far more deaths and accidents associated with hydro than nuclear

There is also a deep space exposure on Mars, not only during the travel between Earth and Mars (8:09). So it would not matter to reduce the stay in space from 3 years to 2.5 years for one mission to Mars, stay there and fly back after 2 years. There is no substantial gain. But there is a substantial gain if you would fly to Jupiter or Saturn, a faster propulsion would bring you there in a few years instead of 10 years. That's quite some good gain.

Forget Fishon reactors . Thats actually yesterdays tecnology . The next power source will be Fushion reactors10X the power of a nuclear reaactor,. It may take us 50yr to develop it ,but i figure that is about how long the rest of the tec is going to take to develop also . This is only about how long it has taken to decide to go back to the moon . I would like to be around long enough to see it happen , but I doubt it .I am already 50 yr old , But you never know. Medical tec is also developing about as fast or even faster than Space tec . So perhaps I might see. Fushion rocket tec before I die . And that COULD be the engine that gets us to Alpha Centari It will certainly be what gets us around the solar system . DML

Solar thermal/electric beats nuclear thermal/electric to Mars a ta tiny fraction of the cost. It takes longer from LEO to escape but can have a much better electricity production per unit mass for the use of ion engines in the cruise phase. The concentrating mirror means triple junction PV for high efficiency and specific power production than the heat engine nuclear electric requires.

Just a small point to add to your superb video. When rocket fuels are mixed and then sent to the combustion chamber, in a Rocket or in the case of a Jet Engine (Kerosene) The fuel is ignited and then it BURNS, it does NOT Explode! And it’s the rapidly expanding hot gasses that produce thrust, using Neuton’s law of motion! If it Exploded, the whole Rocket or Aircraft would be destroyed!! Keep them coming though.

The exhaust from a nuclear thermal rocket should not be radioactive, since the actual nuclear fuel will not be blown out the end, only the heated propellant gas, which, if it is ordinary hydrogen, cannot become radioactive even if it were in direct contact with the fuel elements, and in any case it is almost certain to be separated from them by a coolant loop.

Nobody seems to describe how rocket engines work. Engines create a high pressure that push in one direction because there is a hole in the other direction. You can create that high pressure in many ways but it's simply a pressure differential resulting in the rocket being pushed in one direction. People get caught up in the "equal and opposite reaction" thing which sure is technically true but there's nothing special or magical with the exhaust coming out of the engine nozzle. It's just a result of the high pressure built up in the engine.

We could also explore the solar system by using ion engine + gravity of sun and use sun's gravity as a sling shot for a spaceship. Spaceship would go against the sun and go around the sun and used ion engine as a force to go away from the sun that whey it would get a lot of speed with almost no fuel and almost zero cost to go to the end or even further than the solar system. When the ship travel's towards the sun it would use solar cells to power the batteries on the ship for fuel.

We've had nuclear powered submarines for many years. Sub Sailors are used to living in tight quarters for months at a time. They go to sleep 1000 feet under the surface of the ocean. They make their own fresh water and air from the ocean. It's their life. Space Force should probably be move out of the Dept of the Air Force, and become their own branch. Sending rockets to orbit and operating in an atmosphere is the AF domain, but once a ship is in space it probably should be operated by Submarine Sailors. The first operations going to Mars should initially be a joint operation between NASA and Space Force using Astronauts and Submarine Sailors. You could probably add in Navy divers.
