DFD paper accepted for Workshop of Interstellar Flight

Our paper “Direct Fusion Drive for Interstellar Exploration” has been accepted for the Workshop of Interstellar Flight that will be held at CUNY City Tech, 13-15 June 2017! The workshop is organized by the Institute for Interstellar Studies and City Tech’s Physics Department and Center for Theoretical Physics.

We will present the latest results from our NASA NIAC work on DFD design as well as applications to interstellar missions, including:

• A mission to 550 AU to perform gravitational lensing imaging of exoplanets;
• Flyby missions to the nearest star;
• A mission to go into orbit about a planet orbiting either Alpha-Centauri A or Alpha-Centauri B.
