JIMO (Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter)
НАСА в начале двухтысячных рассматривало аппарат схожий с российским ТЭМ для миссии к спутникам Юпитера
JIMO был гораздо менее мощным (100 кВт электрической мощности) и имел 8 ЭРД
"Due to a shift in priorities at NASA that favored manned space missions, the project lost funding in 2005, effectively cancelling the JIMO mission. Among other issues, the proposed nuclear technology was deemed too ambitious, as was the multiple-launch and in-orbit assembly mission architecture."
