Advanced Interplanetary Missions with Solar-Nuclear Electric Propulsion.
Abstract:
There are presented results of estimation of the nuclear/solar electric propulsion missions to the celestial bodies of the Solar system. These results give an idea of long-range missions after 2000 (simple return from Fortuna asteroid, Mercury and Pluto rendezvous). This investigation was carried out in the connection with work of the Joint Study Group, 'CONNEP' - project, and project INTAS-94-559.
