Description
A new rendering of my Open-Cycle Gas-Core nuclear rocket engine created for David S.F. Portree’s Spaceflight History blog, for his article
Could the Space Voyages in the Film and Novel "2001: A Space Odyssey" Really Happen? (Part 2)
The full size, full resolution, artwork is presently available to my patrons at Patreon.com/WilliamBlack.
Design is derived from the following NASA technical memorandum:
NASA TM X-2772 Link: Reactor Moderator, Pressure Vessel, And Heat Rejection System of An Open-Cycle Gas-Core Nuclear Rocket Concept
