BLETCHLEY, England, June 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Pulsar Fusion, developers of clean space propulsion systems and services through fusion, has entered into a partnership with Princeton Satellite Systems (PSS) to apply machine learning to study data from the Princeton field-reverse configuration (PFRC-2) reactor to advance delivery of practical fusion propelled spacecraft that can make interstellar space travel practical.
Key Points:
- With fusion propulsion the solar system is realistically within grasp giving us the ability to travel meaningful distances in space within months and years - not in a lifetime.
- The partnership will apply the most advanced machine learning technologies to analyze the behavior of super-hot fusion plasma in a rocket engine configuration.
- We believe that fusion propulsion will be demonstrated in space decades before we can harness fusion for energy on Earth."
- The company is the world leader in nuclear fusion propulsion making space engines that work today.
