Interstellar propulsion using laser-driven inertial confinement fusion physics

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Kelvin F. Long from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the research: Interstellar Propulsion Using Laser-Driven Inertial Confinement Fusion Physics, in the Journal: Universe 2022, 8, 421. of 16/07/1945
  • what: This project has since been re-visited under the name Starshot , and this involves the sending of gram-scale probes at 0.2 c over interstellar distances using a ~100-200 GW ground based beaming array. This work has instead focussed on another method of igniting fusion fuels, known as inertial confinement fusion (ICF). The paper discussed milligram quantities of DT fuel with . . .
