Planet Mars has been in the center of the world's attention for some time thanks to the desire of many space agencies to send astronauts there, but today there is also an extremely important announcement regarding what is happening on the red planet. More precisely, it seems that a new engine concept for spaceships could greatly reduce the duration of a trip to the planet Mars, astronauts being able to get there in just 3 months.
Planet Mars it is tens of millions of kilometers away from the Earth, the smallest of them being 56 million, and the largest perhaps even double, in relation to the period of the year in which it is measured. Because the planet Mars is so far from the earth, astronauts cannot get there that easily, and this means that exploration missions cannot be carried out very easily, but a new nuclear engine prototype could solve the problem.
Planet Mars: STUNNING Announcement, HUGE Impact for Humanity
Planet Mars could be visited by astronauts just 3 months after leaving Earth, if a new type of nuclear engine is approved for production by those from NASA, based on a proposal made by an American company that developed it especially for travel. We are talking about a nuclear engine concept that is safer than the current ones, but which can transport spaceships faster, including to the planet Mars, over tens of millions of kilometers.
“Our engine maximizes the use of proven technology, eliminates the failure modes of previous NTP concepts and has a specific impulse more than twice that of chemical systems. This allows us to harness advances in nuclear technology and infrastructure from Earth systems and apply them to our space reactors.”
Planet Mars it could be visited by the first astronauts only in 2030, or at least these are NASA's plans at the moment, and the new nuclear engine based on a new type of uranium could make the journey much shorter and safer. The concept was developed especially for NASA, it could also be used by other space agencies, or private companies, to send both people and equipment, or various exploration robots, to the planet Mars.
Planet Mars it will soon be visited by new robots sent from Earth by various space agencies, so we will receive more important information about what is happening there.
