Propulsion Links Propulsion Once the main technological obstacles to be overcome to make space exploration a reality (in the early days of the space program few were confident that man would ever develop a booster capable of propelling a human being into Earth orbit, much less to get him to the Moon), the propulsion system to be utilized becomes once more a major determinant in a manned mission to Mars. The enormous distances involved, the need to reduce the mission duration as much as possible for medical reasons, the weight constraints imposed by the existence of a manned crew and its life support system all make this choice a crucial one, a "go-no go" decision in terms of design. Defining the problem : Mars Direct vs. Earth orbit The problem must first be defined in order to start analyzing different alternatives for the propulsive system. We know for sure that we want to get from Earth to Mars, land there and come back to our home planet. But where will be launch from? The two alternatives have been extensively studied.

24. Theory For Gravitic Propulsion Theory for Matter, Energy, SpaceTime and Gravitic propulsionintended to inspire debate and research that could lead to experimentation and prototyping. http://members.shaw.ca/mike.anderton

Theory for Gravitic Propulsion (In Progress) Revised and updated July 16, 2002 Universe Today - Space news from around the Internet, updated every weekday. PhysLINK.com Forward I would like to begin by informing the reader that I am not a physicist, I am an electronics design technologist. I have been researching electroluminescence since 1993, which resulted in my curiosity regarding the nature of photons (electromagnetic energy) and their interactions with electronic devices (matter). I would also like to qualify the title of this article. I did not entitle it " The Theory of Gravitic Propulsion" because it is not yet a complete theory, it is a new way of understanding our universe of matter and energy, based somewhat loosely upon some of the concepts outlined by Albert Einstein. The main focus of this article is the result of many years of thought and readings on the nature of energy, matter and gravity (which I refer to as matter's "gravitic effect" in space-time). It is my intent in this article to contrive a description of physical reality that binds and accounts for these "components" of our universe, while attempting to maintain compatibility with existing theories and knowns. In 1996, Dr. Miguel Alcubierre Moya, a physicist currently working (2001) at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, published a paper which demonstrates mathematically that the type of propulsion system I propose here is possible with certain limitations and apparent energy supply problems, which I believe will be solved as the true nature of physical reality becomes more fully understood. Unfortunately, I did not hear about or read his paper until 2001, 2 years after I first published this article and 5 years after his paper became available. I was surprised to discover that we both came to some of the same conclusions regarding the implementation of this as yet undeveloped technology. I respectfully acknowledge Dr. Alcubierre's work and thank him for his contribution to this new branch of physics I refer to as "Gravitics".

What's behind the M2P2 Mini-Magnetospheric Plasma Propulsion (M2P2) is an advanced plasma propulsion system that will enable spacecraft to attain unprecedented speeds, with minimal energy and mass requirements. It will create a large scale magnetic bubble around the spacecraft to ride the solar winds, and accelerate the spacecraft to unprecedented speeds. A new large chamber has recently been installed at the University of Washington for continued prototype testing. The new chamber has 10 times the volume of our initial change and more easily allows the inflation to be optimized without strong wall interactions.

However, when you think of the size of our solar system, not to mention the universe, we have just taken baby steps into space. In order to go to Mars and other planets that are out of the reach of conventional rocket engines NASA is developing several advanced propulsion systems, including one that harnesses the power of the sun Photo courtesy NASA Artist's concept of a fusion-powered space vehicle approaching the Saturn moon Titan Basically, fusion-powered spacecraft are designed to recreate the same types of high-temperature reactions that occur in the core of the sun. The enormous energy created from those reactions is expelled from the engine to provide thrust. Using this type of propulsion system, a spacecraft could speed to Mars in just about three months. It would take conventional rockets at least seven months to reach Mars.

Welcome to the newly redesigned haven for the rail gun enthusiast. This page covers some of the latest techniques in electromagnetic propulsion, but the construction of a rail gun is a perilous undertaking so use the information contained herein at your own risk. NOTE: In the interest of simplicity vector directions are ignored, it is assumed that the magnitude is as calculated and in the desired direction. Introduction Contents What is a rail gun? How fast does a rail gun projectile go? What is the right hand rule? What is a rail gun? A rail gun in it's simplest form is a pair of conducting rails separated by a distance L and with one rail connected to the positive and one the negative side of a power source supplying voltage V and current I. A conducting projectile bridges the gap L between the rails, completing the electrical circuit. As current I flows through the rails, a magnetic field B is generated with an orientation dictated by the right hand rule and with a magnitude governed by equation 1.
