Abstract
Study results are presented on transportation problems associated with the development and testing of nuclear rocket powered space vehicles at the static test site. The large size of the test articles, and the high levels of radioactivity present new remote handling problems. Factors involved in selecting a transport mode are discussed. Examples of these factors are given as they apply to requirements of advanced propulsion systems.
