Reaching Mars in 3 days safely
Abstract: This concept study envisions a crewed Mars mission using advanced Pulsed Fission-Fusion (PuFF) propulsion to achieve an unprecedented ~3.1-day transit. The architecture assembles a 12-person habitat and lander at a high-Earth orbit (e.g. Earth–Moon L1) before departure. Dual-use reactor modules provide propulsion and ship power; waste heat drives life-support processing. Robust shielding (multi-layer Whipple-type… Read.
