New Impulse Plasma Rocket Concept Aims to Get Astronauts to Mars in 2 Months


An innovative NASA-funded rocket system could revolutionize future missions to Mars by cutting travel time to the Red Planet by up to two months, Space.com reports.
The goal of landing humans on Mars has faced many challenges, including the need to quickly transport large cargo to the distant planet. Depending on the positions of Earth and Mars, a trip from Earth to Mars and back under current technology would take almost two. more efficiently than current engines allow, would allow the trip between Earth and the Red Planet in just two months. Specifically, the rocket will have a high specific impulse, or Isp, which measures how efficiently the engine generates thrust, NASA said in a statement.
Based on the concept of Pulsed Fission Fusion, PPR uses a fission-based nuclear power system that derives energy from the controlled fission of atoms to generate propulsion for spacecraft propulsion. However, the PPR is smaller, simpler, and more affordable than previous concepts. In addition to enabling future long-range missions, the PPR can be applied to much heavier spacecraft, meaning that additional protection can was installed on a spacecraft so that astronauts are less exposed to harmful high-energy particles (called Galactic Cosmic Rays) produced during long-duration spaceflights. PPR's exceptional performance, combining high Isp and high thrust, has the potential to revolutionize space exploration. The system's high efficiency allows for manned missions to Mars in just two months," NASA said in a statement. The PPR concept is now entering the second phase of NASA's Innovative Advanced Concept (NIAC) study, completing the first, which focused on the neutron physics of the propulsion system, spacecraft design, power system and required subsystems, and analyzing the capabilities of the magnetic nozzles and trajectories and identifying their advantages. During the second phase, developers will build on the evaluations of the first phase to optimize the propulsion structure, conduct proof-of-concept experiments, and design the spacecraft concept. to better protect manned flights to Mars. PPR may one day bring NASA closer to building bases on Mars, where only robotic explorers go for now.
