General Atomics tests fuel as space nuclear propulsion R&D powers on
General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) has announced that it has subjected nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) fuel samples to several “high-impact” tests at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Huntsville, Ala. That news comes as NASA, the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, and multiple nuclear and space technology companies continue to build on recent progress in nuclear thermal rocket design and demonstration.
