Deep-space propulsion

MID

Nuclear-thermal, nuclear-electric, and solar-electric propulsion.

Collaborators: TBC

// OVERVIEW

Deep-space propulsion is reach — nuclear-thermal, nuclear-electric, and solar-electric systems that make the outer system and beyond tractable.

It gates every outer-system and exoworld mission on the roadmap.

// FOCUS
01

Nuclear-electric

High-power, high-Isp for crewed deep space.

02

Nuclear-thermal

High-thrust transfer for fast transits.

03

Solar-electric

Efficient cargo and probe propulsion.

// APPLIED IN

Sequencing the long arc.

The research that turns horizons into roadmaps.
