In this paper it is presented the concept and design of a new type of spacecraft that could be used to make the first manned interstellar travel. Solar one would integrate three near-term technologies, namely: compact nuclear fusion reactors, extremely large light sails, and high-energy laser...
Hi everybody,

It employs a combination of 3 propulsion methods: nuclear fusion, beam-powered propulsion , and photon propulsion.
Basically, several compact fusion reactors power a laser...
