Controlled Antihydrogen Propulsion for NASA’s Future in Very Deep Space
To world-wide notice, in 2002 the ATHENA collaboration at CERN (in Geneva, Switzerland) announced the creation of order 100,000 low energy antihydrogen atoms. Thus, the concept of using condensed antihydrogen as a low-weight, powerful fuel (i.e., it produces a thousand times more energy per unit weight of fuel than fission/fusion) for very deep space missions (the Oort cloud and beyond) had rea...
متن کاملAdvanced Hall Electric Propulsion for Future In - Space Transportation
The Hall thruster is an electric propulsion device used for multiple in-space applications including orbit raising, on-orbit maneuvers, and de-orbit functions. These in-space propulsion functions are currently performed by toxic hydrazine monopropellant or hydrazine derivative/nitrogen tetroxide bi-propellant thrusters. The Hall thruster operates nominally in the 1500 s specific impulse regime....
متن کاملElectrodynamic Tethers as Propulsion Systems: System Considerations and Future Plans
Electrodynamic space tethers offer the opportunity for in-space “propellantless” propulsion around planets with a magnetic field and an ionosphere. This propulsion is accomplished by converting the magnetic force on the tether current into propulsive or drag thrust to either increase or decrease the orbital energy of the spacecraft system. To validate electrodynamic-tether thrusting, we must be...
متن کاملNasa Directions in Space Propulsion
In his National Space Policy of 1988, President Reagan committed to a goal of expanding human presence and activity in the solar system. This goal has provided the impetus for a resurgence of activity across a broad range of space technology efforts in general and for a number of propulsion technology programs in particular. Building on recommendations from several detailed studies of the U.S. ...
