商品描述

This book considers the unique method of inertial confinement fusion as a means for propelling a spacecraft on missions, through interplanetary and interstellar space. This has involved combining the two separate fields of knowledge that is advanced propulsion theory and high temperature thermonuclear plasma physics. For the first time, it lays out the theoretical basis for inertial confinement fusion physics and advanced space propulsion, how the engines can be designed, the various physics and engineering parameters calculated through the fundamental equations. The goal of the book is to give readers an overview of the field by introduction of the relevant material, but also to instruct the reader in calculation design examples so that they may be able to reproduce some of this material themselves, or use the material in design calculations of their own as they strive to develop spacecraft concepts. The book is also designed to teach the reader the subject matter of advanced concept spacecraft design for interplanetary and interstellar missions to include world ships, and also consideration of exotic vehicle architectures and advanced propulsion methods to include interstellar ramjets and a black hole engine.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討了慣性約束融合（inertial confinement fusion）作為推進太空船在行星間及星際空間任務中的獨特方法。這涉及將先進推進理論與高溫熱核等離子體物理這兩個獨立的知識領域結合起來。首次，本書闡述了慣性約束融合物理學和先進太空推進的理論基礎，如何設計引擎，以及通過基本方程計算的各種物理和工程參數。本書的目標是通過介紹相關材料，為讀者提供該領域的概述，同時指導讀者進行計算設計範例，以便他們能夠自行重現部分材料，或在努力開發太空船概念時使用這些材料進行設計計算。本書還旨在教授讀者有關行星間和星際任務的先進概念太空船設計的主題，包括世界船（world ships），以及考慮異國車輛架構和先進推進方法，包括星際衝壓引擎（interstellar ramjets）和黑洞引擎（black hole engine）。

作者簡介

Dr Kelvin F Long is an Aerospace Engineer and Astrophysicist, a Chartered Member of the Institute of Physics, a Fellow of the British Interplanetary Society, the former Chief Editor of its journal, The Journal of the British Interplanetary Society. He previously worked as a physicist with the UK Ministry of Defence and, in this capacity, worked with the United States Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He has also presented at every NASA centre in the United States as well as to the European Space Agency, and has served as a consultant to the USAF and the broader aerospace industry. He has published many papers in peer-reviewed journals about interstellar studies, and in particular relating to advanced space propulsion. He has been involved in many interstellar projects including the BIS Project Icarus, the Breakthrough Initiatives Project Starshot, the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory Interstellar Probe Decadal study, and an International Academy of Astronautics study into an interstellar precursor probe that went beyond the Voyagers. He is the current lead for the Interstellar Research Centre and the UK aerospace consultancy company Stellar Engines.
