A nuclear thermal rocket, based off designs from the '60s and '70s, would use a nuclear reactor to super-heat a gas and blast it out the nozzle to generate thrust. 根据六、七十年代的设计,核热火箭(NTR)会采用一个核反应堆产生超热气体,从喷嘴喷出产生推力。
In these technologies, one of the most promising technologies for the future exploration to deep space may be Nuclear Thermal Rocket(NTR) Propulsion. 在这些技术中,核火箭推进无疑是人类继续探索太空最有希望的技术之一。
