Journey to Mars in minutes Nasa is making nuclear rocket will test it in 2027 know about it

The American space agency NASA looks most serious about any planet, then it is Mars. The space agency has been sending its missions to Mars for years to explore the possibilities of life there. NASA also wants to send astronauts to Mars in the future. Now NASA has revealed that it is building a nuclear-powered rocket that could send humans to Mars much faster than conventional rockets. Currently it takes 7 months to reach Mars.

according to reportsThe US space agency has partnered with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for the Demonstration Rocket for Agile Cislunar Operations (DRACO) program. It will be tested in the year 2027. It is said that NASA The nuclear-powered rocket it is working on offers a 10,000 times higher thrust-to-weight ratio than electric propulsion.

To design DRACO, its team plans to use the NTR (Nuclear Thermal Rocket) model, as well as give a modern touch to the model. The NTR model is said to be around 50 years old. It is said that NASA has studied nuclear thermal propulsion for several decades.

It is said that this technology will be very useful for astronauts, because they will not have to travel for a long time. This will also reduce the cost of supply of food and cargo. NASA plans to send humans to Earth by 2030 Mars planet Have to send on.

According to NASA deputy administrator and former astronaut Pam Melroy, if the space agency has fast travel for humans, it will be safe too. He assured that the mission on which NASA is working will be very safe. The agency has been working on the NTR model for many years. This mission was first started in 1961.
