Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP) is the exciting advancement of engine system technology that will enable NASA to perform deep space missions previously beyond reach. Since the 1940s, the United States has attempted to mature this technology to fulfill the mission that JFK famously declared in his special address to Congress in 1961 stating our need to “Accelerate development of the Rover nuclear rocket. This gives promise of someday providing a means for even more exciting and ambitious exploration of space… to the very end of the solar system itself.” Today, we are dedicated to realize this mission, embarking on the journey with other government agencies and industry giants to boldly go where no one has gone before…
