NERVA At Full Power Rocket Test
The NERVA nuclear rocket reactor was tested at full power at the Nevada Test Site, producing 1 100 megawatts thermal and about 55 000 pounds of thrust. The June test plus today’s 14 plus minute run totaled roughly 30 minutes, with 128 000 gallons of liquid hydrogen consumed. Test Cell C is being expanded to store 1 100 000 gallons for longer runs, with first test in late summer. Nuclear engines promise greater efficiency for future space flights aboard a Saturn 5 with five reactors.
