Plasma propulsion transforms an inert propellant – often hydrogen – into plasma, a superheated mix of ions and electrons. Magnetic fields then funnel and accelerate the ...

If we achieve advanced nuclear, antimatter propulsion or other advance propulsion it would be possible to achieve near constant acceleration. This would enable travel times to Mars in the 3-8 day ...

Helicon plasma propulsion represents a promising and multifaceted approach in the domain of electric space propulsion. At its core, the technology utilises helicon waves to generate high-density ...
