Potential utilization of fission and fusion‐based propulsion systems for solar system exploration is examined using a Mars mission as basis. One system employs the open cycle gas core fission reactor (GCR) as the energy source, while the other uses the fusion energy produced in an inertial Confinement Fusion (MICF) concept, to convert thermal energy into thrust. It is shown that while travel time of each approach may be comparable, the GCR must overcome serious problems associated with turbulent mixing, fueling and startup among others, while the fusion approach must find ways to reduce the driver energy required for ignition
