Pulsar Fusion's Sunbird nuclear spacecraft could halve Mars travel time
Original: Inside Sunbird: Pulsar Fusion's nuclear spacecraft that can cut travel time to Mars in half
Pulsar Fusion is developing Sunbird, a nuclear-powered spacecraft designed to roughly cut the travel time to Mars in half. The concept uses nuclear fusion propulsion to reach far higher speeds than conventional chemical rockets, potentially shortening missions that currently take six to nine months. The company says the technology could also be used for deep space travel beyond Mars.
Why now: Fresh coverage of a proposed fusion propulsion system that promises to dramatically shorten interplanetary travel times.
