We have stared in amazement as rockets have shot past our sky at high speeds. Still, one day a few scientists thought to themselves, "Need more POWER!" An engine better than the high-performance liquid hydrogen-liquid oxygen engine has been developed more than 200% more efficient. It is called the nuclear rocket engine. Rocket performance is measured by specific impulse (ISP). This is the pounds of thrust per pound of total propellant used per second. This engine rates 1100, opposed to the other high-performance liquid hydrogen and oxygen engine that stands at 450 for its ISP. This engine is designed for deep space missions to the planets by being launched from space, rather than from Earth into space. The nuclear rocket engine employs liquid hydrogen that converts into a gas and then I heated by a nuclear fission reactor until it is extremely hot. The development of this extraordinary creation enables a deeper look into space and further development of engines and equipment.
