Proving DRACO will deliver
The United States is now closer than it has been in over five decades to launching the first nuclear thermal rocket into space, thanks to DRACO—the Demonstration Rocket for Agile Cislunar Orbit.

Quantitative correlation factors and functions are derived that relate the inside peak heat fluxes for cases involving either a single-side or a uniform external heat flux, which is applied to a circular coolant channel. The results are also presented in terms of a map that gives insight on how to improve high-heat-flux accommodation. The results show that similarities and differences depend on the channel geometry, material, and internal convection.
