Nuclear thermal rockets - Next step to space
Abstract
The prospects for the use of nuclear thermal rockets in manned interplanetary exploration are examined. These rockets offer the possibility for trip times on the order of a year or less in the next two decades. Mission prospects for gas-core concepts are emphasized, showing how such concepts meet the mission requirements.
