Applications of nuclear propulsion to Mars missions

Rosen, Robert / Reck, Gregory M. / Bennett, Gary L.

The basic features of a piloted mission to Mars is described, and it is shown how nuclear propulsion can improve upon the various performance measures of such a mission. An overview of the history and types of nuclear propulsion in the U.S. is presented. Current planning to develop nuclear propulsion technology for the Space Exploration Initiative is addressed.
