... . Concepts have been suggested for fusion propulsion that are very attractive for propulsion but are not consistent with the ground electric power cost goals. Also, the current fusion concepts being pursued for low cost ground power are not the best for propulsion. So, most of the fusion propulsion work is theoretical for now, since there ...

... , Fusion Propulsion '''JBIS Reference Code ''' - 2012.65.232 '''Number of Pages''' - 12 Abstract Project Icarus will use nuclear fusion as the primary propulsion, since achieving breakeven is imminent within the next decade. Therefore, fusion technology ... successful one. This study tried to estimate current technological maturity and possible technological extrapolation of fusion approaches for which appropriate data could be found. Figures of merit that were assessed include ...

... ) propulsion system proposed by the Pennsylvania State University Center for Space Propulsion Engineering open the way to the possible use of available supplies of antiprotons to power antimatter assisted inertial confinement fusion (AAICF) propulsion systems for interstellar missions. Analysis indicates that light weight AAICF propulsion ...

... will have scrubbers to remove moisture and carbon monoxide. They will have navigational, communication, and propulsion systems on board. Space hotels will be equipped with spacesuits for a walk outside the ...

... . In addition there are desktop computer-based simulators that can also teach you a lot about what your flight will be like. One good simulator that can simulate SpaceShipOne, the world's first private spacecraft, and give you a sense of what your flight will be like is called Orbiter. It is free online and can be ...

... create stars. Instead they formed planetisimals that continued to collect dust over a period of about 10,000 years until they were tens of miles across. Then, over the next tens ...

... that, so they would use the in-flight crew escape system. At an altitude of about 30,000 feet, astronauts would pull a handle that turns on the depressurization valve in ...

There is static electricity in Space. It comes from rubbing certain things together and building up an electrical charge. This happens whether there is air or no air. There are electrical storms that come indirectly from the Sun, called solar storms. They are different than the type of storms we are used too on Earth. These storms release energy in the form of gamma rays and electromagnetic ...

Space junk is a big problem that was first considered in 1961. A real plan to remove it has not been implemented. One idea is to launch giant scoops into space to collect and push the space junk down into the atmosphere where it will burn up. These scoops may help clean up the space junk in the future. ---- Answer provided by Robby Gaines Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer ...
