ThermaSat is a small solar thermal energy system for a CubeSat that stores heat in molten salt and then uses it to boil water to 700K+ for propulsion.

Isp will be atrocious but deltaV requirements are low anyway.

Solid anti-hydrogen is shot at a sail coated in uranium to create an interstellar propulsion system. Exhaust velocity is variable, engine mass is minimal and the antimatter amount needed is tiny.

On June 17th 1952 e.v. Jack Parsons, co-founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, is killed in an explosion in Pasadena California. He has been one of the few who truly propelled the Current ahead, especially in his breaking with the Crowleyan mould and looking for alternatives.

Before the nuclear pulse propulsion Orion, there was Helios.
20 GJ explosions inside a 10m wide chamber heated hydrogen gas to 6000K.
The walls had to withstand 3-5 kilobar pulses and 4000K surface temperature...

The ASLAM was a project to replace the AGM-69 SRAM .ASALM was designed to operate in the Mach 4-5 region using an integral rocket ramjet propulsion system with an approximate 200-naut.-mi. range.

按NASA官网上的前瞻设计图,未来的登月和火星计划将要通过”深空门户“空间站进行中转。这个初期计划运行在月球轨道上的空间站最大亮点就是搭载的离子推进系统(Power Propulsion Element),依靠太阳能发电来推进。4000比冲的梦想,愿该计划最终得以实现。

So, he operates like the 2099 Punisher.

His only propulsion is his desire to kill Nazis.

I have been unable to find much information on what is offering.
They mention nuclear technology and higher specific power on-orbit propulsion...

Revisiting a character design I left untouched for too long. Ankh, a tiger shark DPV (diver propulsion vehicle) racer and mechanic. 🦈🏁

Nuclear-electric propulsion. The heat radiators are a dead giveaway

Made a birthday present for . Gave him a new character. Like the community of lovers by
, because apparently I am the first to guess the use of the naga (and thacks propulsion). I'm glad that I can give something to this nice community.

Was testing out some new hardware and this came out.

This could be a new item or the way Rosalina propels herself on water. Each princess could have their own propulsion method.

Anyway, back to work now.

Did you guys know about the flying squids? These cephalopods can "fly" by using jet propulsion to rocket out of the sea and glide on the air. Probably the only non-human animals to use jet propulsion to move in the air 🦑🚀

Hell yea i wanna be yeeted out to the sun by a bird via bone shattering jet propulsion

I love fans. I bow before their air propulsion genius.
With a Pepsi Max tho, not a Bud (I originally thought it was a Coke 🤷🏼‍♀️🙈).
