Nuclear Nerva engine eyed for space runs and cost cuts
U.S. a cites progress on a nuclear rocket engine named Nerva to propel astronauts and gear between Earth and lunar orbits. The project aims to slash costs with higher specific impulse, though funding remains a major hurdle. The engine heats hydrogen in a reactor to 4000 degrees, delivering thrust and potential payload gains, with tests reporting hours of operation and no radiation hazard in final handling.
