Presented in this work are the results of an investigation of alternative means for powering spacecraft and launch vehicles with energy sources other than chemical combustion. Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTR) and the energy release of a nuclear spin isomer present potential for increased rocket performance with a compact, high-energy fuel sources replacing the combustion engines of the Delta IV-H 1st and 2nd stage vehicles. NTR was represented by the Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicle Application, CERMET, and the Particle Bed Reactor (PBR) fission designs, while the isomer hafnium-178-m2 was in...
