Test stand for the "Nerva" nuclear rocket. KIWI-TNT: Area 25 Test of the Nerva engine to destruction, to determine worst-case scenario for runaway reactor. ...
Nerva (/ ˈ n ɜːr v ə /; born Marcus Cocceius Nerva; 8 November 30 – 27 January 98) was a Roman emperor from 96 to 98. Nerva became emperor when aged almost 66, after a lifetime of imperial service under Nero and the succeeding rulers of the Flavian dynasty .
SNPO fired NERVA NRX/XE twenty-eight times in March 1968. The series all generated 1100 MW, and many of the tests concluded only when the test-stand ran out of hydrogen propellant. NERVA NRX/XE produced the baseline 334 kN (75,000 lb f) thrust that Marshall Space Flight Center required in Mars mission plans. The last NRX firing lost 17 kg (38 ...
On July 8, 2010, Harry Reid, Steven Chu and Ken Salazar announced that a 25-square-mile (65 km 2) portion of this area was being reassigned as a development and test area for new solar technologies. [9] One of the test stands of Area 25, the Reactor Maintenance, Assembly, and Disassembly (R-MAD) facility, has been demolished.
The Cleveland extension (SNPO-C), located at NASA Lewis Research Center was responsible for the management of NERVA Engine Technology Development, including the activities of industrial contractors and the construction of the new NERVA test facilities at the Nevada Test Site. The Nevada Extension (SNPO-N) managed the test site activities.
"The test also doesn’t account for musculoskeletal limitations," Azar says. So if you have mobility issues, your score may never come to 10. That doesn't mean you aren't health and fit, Azar ...
In Phase 2, the engine will be evaluated in a cold-flow test with a nonnuclear engine mock-up to assess the mechanical integrity of the core. Such tests were conducted during the Rover/NERVA program in order to study ways to prevent the core from being destroyed from the pressure and high mass flow rates due to the engine’s turbomachinery.
