Integrated Human-Crewed Mission Architecture for Multiplanetary Exploration of Mars and Ceres
By Malaya Kumar Biswal M & Ramesh Kumar V
The concept of human exploration beyond Mars has long captivated the imagination of scientists, engineers, and space enthusiasts for decades. The architecture for multiplanetary mission to Mars and Ceres, proposed by Acceleron Aerospace Sciences Private Limited and Grahaa Space, represents a bold and innovative approach to deep space exploration. We examine the feasibility of such multiplanetary missions by the 2050s...
Nuclear-Powered Propulsion Systems for Multiplanetary and Deep Space Exploration
By Malaya Kumar Biswal M & Ramesh Kumar V
Nuclear power, specifically fission power, is emerging as a promising and ideal technology for future multiplanetary and deep space missions due to its high energy density and ability to provide sustained power over prolonged periods...
