76 | Nuclear thermal/electric deep-space propulsion

B | active frontier

Primary track: Space industry & off-world systems
Secondary: ENE

Bottleneck

Power density, heat, materials, regulation

Backchain

  • Foundations I: W1 dynamics/control
  • Foundations II: W2 nuclear/thermal/materials
  • Specialization: Space industry & off-world systems

First proof of work

Trajectory + reactor/power/thermal model
