The main characteristics are given for two variants of nuclear power propulsion plants (NPPP) based on nuclear power plants (NPP) with thermoemission energy conversion and electric rocket engines (ERE), which are remarkable for the level of electric power for supplying ERE. The authors evaluate the power ballistic efficiency of using such NPPP consisting of an orbital spaceship for the investigation of the Moon's natural resources.
