Scientific paper

NASA has completed its current technology program on nuclear propulsion - both nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) and nuclear electric propulsion (NEP). The focus of the NTP studies has been on piloted and cargo missions to Mars (with precursor missions to the Moon) although studies have been conducted to examine the potential uses of NTP for science missions. The focus of the NEP studies shifted from piloted and cargo missions to Mars to space science missions with consideration of combining a science mission with an early demonstration of NEP using the SP-100 space nuclear reactor power system.
