OSTI ID:4814411
Presented at American Rocket Society Space Fllght Report to the Nation, New York, New York, October 9-l5, 1961. The application of nuclear rocket engines as upper stages was studied with primary emphasis on manned lunar missions. Investigation of logical boosters to accomodate nuclear upper stages is discussed. The effects of variables such as staging, nuclear engine thrust level, and startup time are also presented (auth)
