U.S. Nuclear fusion rockets only a few months and from Mars

Existing technology allows astronauts to and from Mars takes about 500 days , but the U.S. scientists are developing a technology-driven using nuclear fusion rockets, round-trip time can be shortened to six months or so . They predict that it will be decades fusion rocket help people to explore Mars and other deep space .

The so-called nuclear fusion , refers to the combination of two or more nuclear reactions , resulting in tremendous energy . According to the U.S. Space Network 7 reported that the U.S. space propulsion technology company MSNW recently gave NASA describes progress in nuclear fusion rocket development , said that nuclear fusion is not rocket science fiction plot, but fully realize that the foundations of physics in the laboratory been proven. Humans using nuclear fusion rocket to Mars in 90 days , it is possible to achieve in a few decades .

" In general this will become a reality ," MSNW solarpanelcellonline company scientist Anthony Panke Di said, " fusion occurs not only on the sun , but also in our laboratory ."

Conceived by Panke Di et al , Mars round trip as long as 210 days , which go away 83 days , return 97 days , staying 30 days on Mars . Their fusion rocket works , the first hydrogen isotopes deuterium-tritium plasma injected a metal chamber , and then use the magnetic field compression technology allows nuclear fusion plasmas to obtain driving energy . Spacecraft is also equipped with buy solar panels o collect solar energy to provide the desired initial trigger nuclear fusion energy .

The researchers say they are making when working with real rocket about the size of nuclear fusion experimental device , I hope next year to achieve a breakthrough .
