antimatter annihilation rocket
1Antimatter rocket — An antimatter rocket is a proposed class of rockets that use antimatter as their power source. There are several types of design that attempt to accomplish this goal. The advantage to this class of rocket is that a large fraction of the rest mass …
2Rocket engine — RS 68 being tested at NASA s Stennis Space Center. The nearly transparent exhaust is due to this engine s exhaust being mostly superheated steam (water vapor from its propellants, hydrogen and oxygen) …
3Antimatter — For other uses, see Antimatter (disambiguation). Antimatter …
4Antimatter catalyzed nuclear pulse propulsion — is a variation of nuclear pulse propulsion based upon the injection of antimatter into a mass of nuclear fuel which normally would not be useful in propulsion. The anti protons used to start the reaction are consumed, so it is a misnomer to refer …
5Relativistic rocket — A relativistic rocket is any spacecraft that is travelling at a velocity close enough to light speed for relativistic effects to become significant. What significant means is a matter of context, but generally speaking a velocity of at least 50%… …
6Nuclear photonic rocket — In a nuclear photonic rocket, a nuclear reactor would generate such high temperatures that the blackbody radiation from the reactor would provide significant thrust. The disadvantage is that it takes a lot of power to generate a small amount of… …
7Redshift rocket — The redshift rocket, envisioned by novelist Karl Schroeder, is a fictional method of spacecraft propulsion.It is a variant on the Sänger antimatter rocket. One of the key difficulties of harnessing the energy from matter/antimatter collisions is… …
8Payload for Antimatter Matter Exploration and Light-nuclei Astrophysics — PAMELA is a bacronym for Payload for Antimatter Matter Exploration and Light nuclei Astrophysics .Launched on 15 June 2006, PAMELA is the first satellite dedicated to detecting cosmic rays and also antimatter from space, in the form of positrons… …
9Mathematics and Physical Sciences — ▪ 2003 Introduction Mathematics Mathematics in 2002 was marked by two discoveries in number theory. The first may have practical implications; the second satisfied a 150 year old curiosity. Computer scientist Manindra Agrawal of the… …
10Materials science in science fiction — Material science in science fiction is the study of how materials science is portrayed in works of science fiction. The accuracy of the materials science portrayed spans a wide range – sometimes it is an extrapolation of existing technology,… …
