Spacecraft propulsion, and nuclear-electric power supply for space travel
Selection note: Curated as an early NASA-program record connecting nuclear-electric power supply and spacecraft propulsion for long-range space travel.
Evidence boundary: NTRS lists open full text, but the 1964 program assumptions, calculations, safety framework, and technical conclusions were not validated. It is historical context, not evidence of present feasibility.
