Originally written in 1989, this book (Master's Thesis) reviews the state of the art in Gas-Core Nuclear Rocket design at the time of program termination in the 1970's, with updates for research performed during the 1980's. Major design problems are addressed and a proposal for an optimum design is included. This book may be especially appealing when one considers NASA's renewed mission to pioneer the future in space exploration.
