Fission fragment rockets A potential breakthrough.

Fission fragment rockets [electronic resource] : A potential breakthrough.

A new reactor concept which has the potential of enabling extremely energetic and ambitious space propulsion missions is described. Fission fragments are directly utilized as the propellant by guiding them out of a very low density core using magnetic fields. The very high fission fragment exhaust v...
