The design of engine based upon the original accomplishmentns of the ROVER/NERVA program (but with the use of advanced technologies) is discussed. Some hypothetical requirements for a typical manned Mars mission are outlined. The following subject areas are covered: typical mission NTR propulsion requirements; performance of NTR operating with high pressure hydrogen; NTR expander cycles; ROVER/NERVA core reactor; Mars propulsion 100 K NTR thrust chamber thermal design parameters; 100 K NTR nozzle assembly; NTR integrated pneumatic-fluidics control system; and 100 K flight thrust module/feed system module assembly.
