- This is a $484,590 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Tennessee for research related to nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) systems. The purpose is to develop a viable fuel form that can withstand the extreme temperature and hydrogen environments required for NTP. The University of Tennessee, operating under the Board of Regents Tennessee, has extensive experience conducting scientific research and implementing initiatives for various...
- The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, was awarded a $113,565.56 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on April 1, 2018 to conduct research on nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) technology. The goal of this research is to support NASA's plans for manned deep space missions in the 2030s, as NTP can provide high specific impulse and thrust, enabling reduced trip times beyond low Earth orbit. This grant is part of NASA's efforts to develop technologies that can expand...
- This $20,570,930 firm fixed price definitive contract was awarded by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center to BWXT Nuclear Energy, Inc. to further the design of a low enriched uranium-based nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) engine as part of a three-year technology development project managed by NASA's Game Changing Development program. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. Key subcontractors supporting the prime include Atkins Nuclear Solutions US, Inc., Ultra Safe Nuclear Corp,...
- This is a $327,486.78 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research for research on nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) for space exploration. The project aims to develop multiscale modeling tools to predict the performance of NTP fuel, focusing on the fuel loss model for UO2 cermet fuel that will be extended to UN fuel. This is part of NASA's broader NTP project, which is exploring the feasibility and affordability of NTP engines for missions to Mars and...
