Center for Space Nuclear Research (CSNR) NTP Design Team Report
- Idaho National Laboratory (INL), Idaho Falls, ID (United States)
The CSNR NTR Design Team has developed a history of collaboration with NASA Marshall Spaceflight Center (MSFC). First assembled in the summer of 2013 to explore the concept of the Low-Enriched Uranium Nuclear Thermal Rocket (LEU-NTR), the team continued research to find solutions with guiding Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP) technological development and provide design and analysis support for the Space Capable Cryogenic Thermal Engine (SCCTE) Project. The work presented in this report provides a background on the cermet LEU-NTR, summarizes work complete to explore a new design space for NTRs, and describes the SCCTE core that was developed.
