Modeling of Power and Propulsion Parameters For Nuclear Electric Propulsion Misson StudiesAdvanced propulsion mission studies sponsored by NASA over the past 10-15 years have indicated that Nuclear Electric Propulsion (NEP) may be a viable candidate for a detailed exploration of the solar system. The first generation of NEP to be used for Planetary missions will most likely be based on modest technology improvements to already existing designs or hardware for a technology readiness in the 2000-2010 time frame.
