Scientific paper
Production and trapping of small numbers of antiprotons for space applications are reviewed, setting the stage for antiproton-catalyzed microfission/fusion (ACMF) reactions as a source of propulsive power. A spacecraft designed around an ACMF engine has been designed. Details, including Isp, thrust, structural features, power systems, radiation shields, ion drivers, payload and system masses, are reviewed. Staging of the spacecraft in space, including requisite propulsion and trajectory parameters and scientific goals for aggressive (Isp=13,000 sec, thrust=180 kN, ΔV=100 km/sec) outer solar system and extraplanetary missions, is discussed.
