About: AIMStar

An Entity of Type: ship, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

AIMStar was a proposed antimatter-catalyzed nuclear pulse propulsion craft that uses clouds of antiprotons to initiate fission and fusion within fuel pellets. A magnetic nozzle derives motive force from the resulting explosions. The design was studied during the 1990s by Penn State University. The craft was designed to reach a distance on the order of 10,000 AU from the Sun, with a travel time of 50 years, and a coasting velocity of approximately 960 km/s after the boost phase (roughly 1/300th of the speed of light). The probe would be able to study the interstellar medium as well as reach Alpha Centauri. The project would require more antimatter than we are capable of producing. In addition, some technical hurdles need to be surpassed before it would be feasible.

  • AIMStar fue una propuesta de que utiliza nubes de antiprotones para iniciar la fisión y la fusión dentro de las pastillas de combustible. Una tobera magnética obtiene la fuerza motriz de las explosiones resultantes. El diseño fue estudiado durante los años 90 por la Universidad Estatal de Pensilvania. La nave fue diseñada para alcanzar una distancia del orden de 10.000 UA desde el Sol, con un tiempo de viaje de 50 años, y una velocidad de desplazamiento de aproximadamente 960 km/s después de la fase de impulso (aproximadamente 1/300 de la velocidad de la luz). La sonda podría estudiar el medio interestelar y llegar a Alfa Centauri.​ El proyecto requeriría más antimateria de la que somos capaces de producir. Además, hay que superar algunos obstáculos técnicos antes de que sea factible.​ (es)
