PREVIEW. Nuclear Propulsion, Russian Cruise Missiles, and the Future of Flight on Mars. AJ Kulhari of Astrix Corporation discusses a nuclear-powered rocket concept that generates thrust by heating intake air or other material. Russia successfully tested such a cruise missile that can fly low around the world. This same method could work on Mars, using its abundant carbon dioxide atmosphere as the substance to heat. This could allow a vehicle to travel completely around Mars using only 20 grams of fuel.
