Cost and performance comparisons are made between chemical propulsion and nuclear electric propulsion for planetary missions at Jupiter and beyond. Nuclear rocket comparisons are made for performance only. Titan, Saturn, and space shuttle launch are evaluated, utilizing advanced propulsion upper stages. Appendixes include a performance analysis of multiple shuttle launches, with assembly in earth orbit, and a discussion of nonrecurring costs. (Author)
