Title: Good books on the history of the NOVA rockets, conventional and nuclear?
Post by: leovinus on 03/17/2022 01:49 pm

And advise on BOOKS with great content on the NOVA A/B/C rockets, conventional, nuclear stages, NERVA etc? Roughly 50s,60s,70s? In the spirit on the N1 book (https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=52222.0) about the Soviet side?

We have see some tech reports on NOVA e.g. here (https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=50967.msg2084988#msg2084988)
"NOVA AND BEYOND, A Review of Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle Concepts in the POST-SATURN Class, H.H.Koelle, 2001"

Some people seem to like this book but is this the only one on topic? And how good is it really?
"To the End of the Solar System: The Story of the Nuclear Rocket, James Dewar"

Thanks.
