MAPS, a 3-years study program on NTP has been launched at CEA in 1994 following the conclusions of a preliminary scoping study of an NTP system for earth to moon orbit cargo shuttle missions. This paper presents the main results obtained after one year of studies, and gives an outline of the future work. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
