This technology is considered for both deep-space missions and potential manned missions to other planets, such as Mars. There are several concepts and methods for nuclear propulsion, primarily divided into two categories: nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) and nuclear electric propulsion (NEP). \#\#\# 1.
