The Nuclear Thermal Propulsion Mission and System Analysis (NTP MSA) Phase 2 Study was initiated by Marshall Space Flight Center’s (MSFC) Advanced Concepts Office (VP11) in December, 2005 in support of MSFC’s Nuclear Systems Office (VP31) NTP for Exploration Study. The Mission and Systems Analysis Study was task # 6 of a set of 14 tasks within the NTP for Exploration Study. The primary goal of the NTP MSA Phase 2 Study was to identify the range of potential NTP engine and vehicle requirements for NASA Exploration Systems Mission Directorate (ESMD) Mars human exploration reference mission.
