Conceptual illustration of a Mars transit habitat and nuclear propulsion system. NASA in conjunction with industry partners, is looking to develop nuclear propulsion systems for the first human missions to Mars. Nuclear propulsion technology could potentially reduce the length of missions to Mars. This technology has improved propellant efficiency in comparison to chemical rockets. | |
