Charts are presented of weight as function of thrust, specific impulse, initial weight in orbit, and mission energy for orbital-launch nuclear rockets; initial weights range from 7600 to 226,000 lb (corresponding to Atlas-Centaur, Saturn, and Nova boost vehicles), and missions are selected to cover approximate capability inherent in specified weights.
