The two of the largest developments in the 20th century have been
the invention of spacecraft, and the invention of nuclear power as
a source of long lasting energy. Now, both technological fields
have grown immensely to structure the technology of our world.
These two fields are intertwined, as the future of space
exploration depends on the availability of nuclear power. One of
the most important requirements of a space flight mission is to be
able to fly to furthest reaches of the universe. In fact, flying
anywhere in our Solar System besides the moon will pose a
considerable challenge as the distances that need to be travelled
are great. The various means of chemical propulsion in spacecraft
do not have the necessary high specific impulse and velocity to
reach these long distances. But, with the availability of nuclear
power, spacecrafts will have the thrust and the necessary power for
exploration of interstellar distances. Nuclear propulsion poses the
way for exploring our solar system and it provides the means for
interstellar exploration. You can find contemporary techniques of
nuclear space propulsion in this book and advanced futuristic
nuclear space propulsion methods.
