Simulation and experimental analysis of aerogel's attenuation for high-energy alpha particles in fission-fusion fragment rocket applications
Emerging studies are geared toward exploring new methods of nuclear rocket propulsion to provide more efficient space transit beyond Earth's orbit. One method is to employ a Fission Fragment Rocket Engine utilizing fissionable layers embedded in a low-density aerogel. A quantitative understandi...
