To fulfil the mission needs of these planetary lander studies, preferably with a common chemical propulsion subsystem concept for all these studies to use as much commonalities as possible, a trade ...

... ) 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 systems ...

... solid targets. When viewed from a propulsion standpoint such systems can produce specific impulses of several million seconds albeit at modest thrusts and require nuclear power systems to drive them. Several schemes are ... relativistic plasma driven by ultrafast lasers particularly attractive for propulsion applications. We introduce the "Laser Accelerated Plasma Propulsion System" LAPPS, and demonstrate its potential propulsive capability by addressing an interstellar mission to the Oort ...

... .52.328 '''Number of Pages''' - 8 Abstract Future exploration of the solar system on a major scale will require propulsion systems capable of performance far greater than is achievable with the present generation of rocket engines using chemical propellants. Viable missions going deeper into interstellar space will be even more demanding. Propulsion systems ...

... develop efficient propulsion system using the Coulomb forces. This paper presents an overview of Coulomb forces for propulsion of micro-spacecraft in swarms and reports the first results of a novel hybrid propulsion system recently developed for close- proximity motion. This hybrid propulsion system takes advantage of Coulomb ...
