abstract = "Nuclear concepts have been investigated for space applications for nearly 60 years. Such concepts include radioisotope power systems, fission power systems, nuclear electric propulsion, nuclear thermal propulsion, and other advanced concepts. These technologies have enabled a variety of missions to explore the solar system and continue to make deep space exploration and manned mission architectures possible. This paper describes these technologies as they have been developed and implemented throughout history.",
