	Nuclear pulse propulsion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Project Daedalus was a study conducted between 1973 and 1978 by the British Interplanetary Society (BIS) to design a plausible interstellar unmanned spacecraft that could reach a nearby star within one human lifetime (set to be 50 years).
		Project Longshot was a NASA-sponsored research project carried out at the US Navy Naval Academy in the early 1990s.
		Longshot was in some ways a development of the basic Daedalus concept, in that it used magnetically-funneled ICF as a rocket.

	Project Longshot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Project Longshot is a design for an interstellar spaceship, an unmanned probe intended to fly to Alpha Centauri powered by nuclear pulse propulsion.
		Initially generating 300 kilowatts, the reactor powered a number of lasers in the engine that were used to ignite inertial confinement fusion similar to that in Daedalus.

	Project Long Shot
		During the period 24 October through 31 October 1965 you participated in Project LONG SHOT, a DOD sponsored underground nuclear detonation at Amchitka Island, Alaska.
		At this time, Gary Lattin called the director of the project and advised him that if we weren't given quarters that would allow us to sleep, that we would be forced to declare inadequate crew rest.
		Early the next morning, we attended extensive briefings on Project Long Shot and the procedures to be followed.

	Project Habbakuk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Project Habbakuk was a plan by the British in World War II to construct an "unsinkable" aircraft carrier out of ice, for use against German U-boats in the mid-Atlantic, which was out of range of land-based planes.
		However, it was projected to take $70 million and 8000 people working for 8 months to construct, an expenditure which the British were unwilling to make at the time on such an experimental craft.
		Experiments on ice and pykrete as construction materials were carried out at Lake Louise, Alberta and a small prototype was constructed at Patricia Lake, Alberta, measuring only 60 feet by 30 feet (18 by 9 m), but Habbakuk itself was never begun.

		Project Pluto, which developed an unmanned cruise missile that used a nuclear powered ramjet for propulsion.
		A nuclear propulsion system derives its thrust from the products of nuclear fission or fusion, and was first seriously studied by Stanislaw Ulam and Frederick de Hoffman in 1944 as a spinoff of their work on the Manhattan Project.
		One way to achieve nuclear propulsion is to heat a working fluid by pumping it through a nuclear reactor, then let the fluid expand through a nozzle.

		During that time, Longshot put all of his energy into sports, letting his natural athleticism carry him to a scholarship from Drake University, where he planned on becoming a star wide receiver.
		In his sophomore year, after injuries from an auto accident ended Longshot's football career, he returned to Evanston, where he worked a series of jobs, from delivering newspapers to coaching baseball, and he attended classes at Oakton Community College and Northwestern University's School of Continuing Studies.
		Longshot then moved to New York, which he calls hip-hop's Mecca.

		It has had a big advantage in deep space operations thanks to the nuclear submarine program (heavy structure architecture and radiation shielding, powerplant, life support, computation, communication, intelligence gathering, deep fl operations experience and covert launch capability) and its contractors (General Dynamics is a major player in both submersibles and spacecraft).
		The Navy was a prime player in the Moon Base projects of the 1950's, 60's and 70's (Project Lunex) and provided both logistical support and Astronauts to Apollo.

	In all engineering majors a senior design project is necessary in order to graduate
		Based on the Von Karmen's Institute's Longshot Wind tunnel this senior design project focuses on redesigning the wind tunnel so that the simulated environments could be used to further improve knowledge about hypersonic flights to enable safer flights.
		The telemetry from the onboard CCD camera and sensors are sent back and processed using LabVIEW and projected in front of the pilot who controls the plane using a regular yoke, rudder pedals and thrust lever.
		The designs have to be within the competition guidelines but the aim of the project is to design a remote controlled single-engine plane that can carry a maximum weight.
