Fission power and propulsion systems can enable exciting space
exploration missions. These include bases on the moon and Mars; and
the exploration, development, and utilization of the solar system.
In the near-term, fission surface power systems could provide
abundant, constant, cost-effective power anywhere on the surface of
the Moon or Mars, independent of available sunlight. Affordable
access to Mars, the asteroid belt, or other destinations could be
provided by nuclear thermal rockets. In the further term, high
performance fission power supplies could enable both extremely high
power levels on planetary surfaces and fission electric propulsion
vehicles for rapid, efficient cargo and crew transfer. Advanced
fission propulsion systems could eventually allow routine access to
the entire solar system. Fission systems could also enable the
utilization of resources within the solar system.
