Project Prometheus will enable a new paradigm in the scientific exploration of the Solar System. The proposed JIMO mission will start a new generation of missions characterized by more maneuverability, flexibility, power and lifetime. Project Prometheus organization is established at NASA Headquarters (1) Organization established to carry out development of JIMO, nuclear power (radioisotope), and nuclear propulsion research. (2) Completed broad technology and national capacity assessments to inform decision making on planning and technology development. (3) Awarded five NRA s for nuclear propulsion research. (4) Radioisotope power systems in development, and Plutonium-238 being purchased from Russia. (5) Formulated science driven near-term and long-term plan for the safe utilization of nuclear propulsion based missions. (6) Completed preliminary studies (Pre-Phase A) of JIMO and other missions. (7) Initiated JIMO Phase A studies by Contractors and NASA.
