The first tests of nuclear rockets started in 1955 with Project Rover at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. The key development was miniaturizing the reactors enough to be able to put them on a rocket. Over the next few years, engineers built and tested more than a dozen reactors of different sizes and power outputs.
