Title : A nuclear thermal rocket fires upon arrival in the vicinity of Mars to insert the transfer vehicle into orbit
Caption :
A nuclear thermal rocket fires upon arrival in the vicinity of Mars to insert the transfer vehicle into orbit. Nuclear propulsion can shorten interplanetary trip times and can reduce the mass launched from Earth. As the primary transfer propulsion system, the spacecraft's reactor would remain inactive until departure from Earth orbit.
