"At present we are testing several types of fuel and later we will start drafting the design," Kovalevich said. "The first parts [of the nuclear engine] should be built in 2013, and the engine is expected to be ready by 2017."
The engine is being developed for interplanetary manned spacecraft to ensure that Russia maintains a competitive edge in the space race, including the exploration of the Moon and Mars.
