Booster requirements of interplanetary flight and analysis of trajectory data with respect to nuclear-propelled orbital launch vehicles; tabulation of attractive categories of nonstop round-trip flybys to Mars and Venus; types of planetary stopovers considered are Mars short and long stopover and Venus short stopover; application of nuclear-propelled orbital launch vehicles to such trajectories can bring almost 50% reduction of mass required on earth orbit under what suitable LH2/LO2 system provides; approach taken to study of escape stage booster performance; study results obtained.
