Scientific paper

Algebraic and graphical relations are presented between mission parameters for nuclear-electric propulsion planetary transfer and the vehicle parameters. The former include payload mass fraction, dry vehicle mass fraction, and trip time. The latter include thrust efficiency, specific impulse, dry vehicle specific mass, and spacecraft initial acceleration. Attention is also given to planet escape and capture trajectory constraints.
