Project Timberwind aimed to develop nuclear thermal rockets. Initial funding by the Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars") from 1987 through 1991 totaled $139 million (then-year). The proposed rocket was later expanded into a larger design after the project was transferred to the Air Force Space Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (SNTP) program.

has abstract	Timberwind war ein Programm der US-DARPA zur Entwicklung eines nuklearen Raketentriebwerks für den Einsatz im Rahmen des SDI-Programms. Das Projekt endete 1992. Der Vorgänger dieses Projekts war das 1972 beendete Projekt NERVA. Die Entwicklung eines leistungsfähigen kompakten Reaktors mit kugelförmigen Brennelementen (Kugelhaufenreaktor) stand in Verbindung mit dem Multi-Megawatt (MMW) Projekt, dessen Ziel die Erzeugung hoher elektrischer Energie im Weltraum für einen längeren Zeitraum war, wie es für SDI-Energiewaffen vorgesehen war. Die Timberwind-Rakete sollte als zweite Stufe (Timberwind 45) auf einer Atlas-Rakete und in der Version Timberwind 250 auf einer Titan-Rakete zum Einsatz kommen. (de) Project Timberwind aimed to develop nuclear thermal rockets. Initial funding by the Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars") from 1987 through 1991 totaled $139 million (then-year). The proposed rocket was later expanded into a larger design after the project was transferred to the Air Force Space Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (SNTP) program. The program underwent an audit in 1992 due to security concerns raised by Steven Aftergood. This highly classified program provided the motivation for starting the FAS Government Secrecy project. Convicted spy Stewart Nozette was found to be on the master access list for the TIMBER WIND project. Advances in high-temperature metals, computer modelling and nuclear engineering in general resulted in dramatically improved performance. Whereas the NERVA engine was projected to weigh about 6803 kg, the final SNTP offered just over 1/3 the thrust from an engine of only 1650 kg, while further improving the specific impulse from 930 to 1000 seconds.
