Priorities in space science enabled by nuclear power and propulsion /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

In 2003, NASA began an R & D effort to develop nuclear power and propulsion systems for solar system exploration. This activity, renamed Project Prometheus in 2004, was initiated because of the inherent limitations in photovoltaic and chemical propulsion systems in reaching many solar system obj...
