plasma rocket
Plasma test shots from the VX - 100 prototype plasma rocket housed at NASA's Johnson Space Center. The video is slowed down to 1/ 2 speed. In general, these types of thrusters (ion thrusters, Hall thrusters, and VASIMR) take advantage of extremely high exhaust velocities and generally have the abilit

conceptual mars mission using 3 vasimr engines
This is NASA's conceptual human mission to Mars using 3 plasma rockets (VASIMR), 3 nuclear reactors (similar to the reactors used on nuclear submarines). The reactors are extended on booms in order to minimize the amount of shielding required to shield the spacecraft.
The large fuel tanks would

vasimr ground testing
This is a series of test firings of the VASIMR VX - 200 plasma rocket prototype. The rocket's 1st stage (a Helicon plasma source) was fired at 14 kW using a solid state RF amplifier, and argon gas as the propellant. The video is slowed down to half speed.
The VX - 200 is designed to use 30 kW for its

lunar tug using plasma rocket
An unmanned cargo capability based on VASIMR propulsion offers significant cost savings to NASA and commercial lunar exploration programs. VASIMR can deliver twice as much payload to the lunar surface, compared to chemical propulsion, if used as a 'tug boat' between Low Earth Orbit and Low Lunar Or

huge vacuum chamber
The arrival and installation of Ad Astra Rocket Company's 35 ft x 15 ft vacuum chamber. This state of the art chamber will be used to simulate space conditions while firing the company's 200 kW VASIMR plasma rocket. The new VX - 200 rocket will be entirely self contained and flight - like within the c

chemistry and advanced propulsion technologies
This NASA video segment will explain how the Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket, or VASIMR, uses plasma for rocket propulsion. This video segment reviews the four states of matter and goes into detail on how plasma may be used to power rockets. This video also reviews the make - up of atom

thanks, earth
We discovered this computer animation of a Mars mission but were devastated to find no music accompaniment. Therefore, we added a rough mix of one of our new songs, "Thanks, Earthquake". Enjoy the sights AND sounds.
