NASA Pellet Beam Propulsion Study for Nine Times Faster Speed
by Brian Wang from NextBigFuture.com on (#67SW3)
NASA NIAC has a phase 1 study for Artur Davoyan to study propulsion architecture for fast transit of heavy (1 ton and more) payloads across the solar system and to interstellar medium. This version of a pellet beams approach allow for larger vehicles to reach speeds nine times faster than Voyager 1. Inspired by the ...
