Project Rover was the name of the United States program to develop the technology to build a nuclear thermal rocket. It took place at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory from 1955 through 1972. The program jointly involved the Laboratory, the Atomic Energy Commission, and NASA, and it was managed by the Space Nuclear Propulsion Office. Nuclear reactors for the Rover program were built at the Lab's Technical Area 18 (TA-18), also known as Pajarito Site. The reactors were tested at very low power and subsequently shipped to Jackass Flats at the Nevada Test Site. Testing of fuel elements and other materials science was done by N-Division in Los Alamos at TA-46 using various ovens and later the Nuclear Furnace. Parallel fuel rod development took place off-site at Rocky Flats.
