	Project Orion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some Orion nuclear pulse rockets using megaton range nuclear fusion type pulse units are capable of accelerating a spacecraft with a mass of millions of metric tons to velocities as high as 10% of the speed of light in space flight.
		Orion is the ideal method of propelling a multi-generational starship such as an interstellar ark to the stars at velocities of up to 10% of the velocity of light.
		Stirling, an Orion spacecraft is created during an arms race between The Domination of the Draka and the Alliance for Democracy, and used by both sides in their explorations of the solar system and as warships.

	Nuclear pulse propulsion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nuclear pulse propulsion (or External Pulsed Plasma Propulsion, as it is termed in one recent NASA document) is a proposed method of spacecraft propulsion that uses nuclear explosions for thrust.
		Orion reacted small directional nuclear explosives against a large steel pusher plate attached to the spacecraft with shock absorbers.
		Orion's technology is also one of very few known interstellar space drives that could be constructed with known technology.

		This is possible because Orion uses nuclear power to make thrust without requiring the power to be held within a rocket chamber.
		An Orion drive is the only known method of performing manned interstellar exploration with current technology.
		One design proposed by Freeman Dyson for the "Super Orion" called for the pusher plate to be composed of uranium or a largely transuranic element so that upon reaching a nearby star system the plate could be converted to nuclear fuel.

	Project Orion: Its Life, Death, and Possible Rebirth
		The idea of an "atomic drive" was a science-fiction cliche by the 1930's, but it appears that Stanislaw Ulam and Frederick de Hoffman conducted the first serious investigation of atomic propulsion for space flight in 1944, while they were working on the Manhattan Project (2).
		Orion at first was similar: scientists did practical engineering and engineers built working scale models, all on a shoestring budget (14).
		The story of Orion is important, he says, "...because this is the first time in modern history that a major expansion of human technology has been suppressed for political reasons"(52).

		The Orion drive combines high effective exhaust velocity (6000 (1/60 of a minute; the basic unit of time adopted under the Systeme International d'Unites) seconds) with thousands of tonnes of thrust.
		Missions that were designed for an Orion vehicle included single stage to Mars and back, from the surface of the Earth, and a trip to one of the moons of Saturn.
		A larger version of the Orion drive was planned for Daedelus, an interstellar mission.

	Sharp Blue: Project Orion
		In his Project Orion: The Atomic Spaceship 1957-1965, George Dyson tells the story of Orion's physics and politics, and of his father's dreams of a Space Age that never was.
		In its final incarnation, Orion was reduced in scale enough to be launched by a Saturn V rocket or one of the even more massive Nova boosters (which were never built).
		Orion was the code name of a project aimed at discovering the feasibility of spaceships driven by nuclear bombs.

	Article: The Nuclear Space Age (part 1 of 2), by Paul Lucas
		Orion Nuclear Pulse Drives are enormously powerful compared to modern rockets, and even compared to most other nuclear propulsion schemes.
		Orion was effectively killed by the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963, which made the use of any nuclear weapons in space illegal, and the general hostility toward nuclear technology in the ensuing decades have kept it from reviving in any serious form.
		Yet, Orion still has a great many fans within the aerospace and physics community, and recent changes in US nuclear policy could perhaps reopen the door for it to be used as a means of interplanetary propulsion in the future.

		Orion rises lying down and would take the remainder of the night to climb high in the south where he would stand straight up.
		One story has Orion killed by the sting of a giant scorpion in retaliation for his arrogant pride but Orion was honored by being placed in the sky anyway.
		Orion’s three “belt” stars are named Alnitak, meaning “the girdle,” Alnilam meaning “a belt of pearls” and Mintaka, meaning “belt.” Alnitak, the eastern most belt star, lies near one of the most famous objects in astronomy, the striking horsehead nebula.

	Orion
		The nuclear pulse drive was conceived of H-bomb designers Stanislaw Ulam and Cornelius Everett at Los Alamos in 1955.
		The nuclear pulse design, dubbed Orion, was a counter-intuitive approach to using the huge potential of nuclear energy for spacecraft propulsion without the costly development required for nuclear thermal or nuclear electric systems.
		The final iteration of the Orion design was a nuclear pulse propulsion module launched into earth orbit by a Saturn V. The 100 tonne unit would have had a diameter of 10 m to match that of the booster.

		Project Orion was the first engineering design for a spacecraft powered by nuclear pulse propulsion, led by a team at General Atomics in the 1950s.
		However, the fallout for the entire launch of a 6000 short ton (5500 metric ton) Orion was only equal to a ten-megaton of TNT (40 petajoule) blast, and he was assuming use of weapon-type nuclear explosives.
		In the novel ''King David's Spaceship'' by Jerry Pournelle inhabitants of a planet that is to be re-admitted to the Empire plot to build the spaceship based on an Orion project concept in order to qualify their planet as a higher developed, class one Imperial World with self-government.

	Atomic Rocket: Engine List
		In science fiction, one often encounters the legendary "fusion drive" or "torchship", which is a high exhaust velocity + high thrust propulsion system that modern science isn't sure is even possible.
		All drives listed in the table whose names end in "MAX" require some sort of technological breakthrough to to prevent the engine from vaporizing and/or absurdly large reaction chamber sizes.
		This is a plasma drive with the amusing ability to "shift gears." This means it can trade exhaust velocity for thrust and vice versa.
