The prospects for the use of nuclear thermal rockets in manned interplanetary exploration are examined. These rockets offer the possibility for trip times on the order of a year or less in the next two decades. Mission prospects for gas-core concepts are emphasized, showing how such concepts meet the mission requirements.
