Notes
  • Significance: The Reactor Maintenance Assembly and Disassembly facility is significant for its role in the United States space program. The facility was part of the Rover project for the initial development and testing of a nuclear-propelled launch vehicle with goals to orbit Mars, missions to Mercury and Jupiter, and eventually, exploration beyond our solar system. Although the project did not result in an actual flight, it revealed that such missions were technically feasible and the knowledge gained is still part of the space program today. Termination of the Rover project was in 1973.
