    The Nuclear and Future Flight Propulsion Technical Committee works to advance the implementation and design of nonchemical, high-energy propulsion systems other than electric thruster systems.

    Since 2016, NASA has been exploring low-enriched uranium, LEU, reactors for nuclear thermal propulsion or NTP.

    The LEU NTP project, led by NASA, is aimed at developing a demonstrator to fly before 2030 as a test for crewed missions to Mars. Significant conceptional design evaluations and work were completed toward LEU NTP in 2019.

    In February, the LEU NTP project received additional funding and initiated several studies with industry and U.S.

    Energy Department labs.

    In May, Aerojet Rocketdyne refined its predicted performance modeling of an LEU NTP engine.

    In July, researchers at NASA’s Marshall
