Economic factors involved in chemical, nuclear heat transfer, and nuclear electric engine systems are examined and method established to compare economics and to establish preliminary costs; systems considered are of 2 stages except electrical system which includes 2-stage, minimum cost liquid oxygen/liquid hydrogen booster; combination designed for minimum cost of 2-stage chemical booster and electrically powered upper stages for missions beyond Mars.
