NASA has been researching interstellar travel since its formation, translating important foreign language papers and conducting early studies on applying fusion propulsion, in the 1960s, and laser propulsion, in the 1970s, to interstellar travel.
27 Μαρ 2019 · Now that the Voyagers are outside of the heliosphere, their new perspective will provide new information about the formation and state of our Sun and how it interacts with interstellar space, along with insight into how other stars interact with the interstellar medium.
1 Ιουν 2022 · The author of a new research article in the International Journal of Astrobiology says that ETCs may not need starships to escape existential threats and travel to another star system. They could instead use free-floating planets, also known as rogue planets.
19 Δεκ 2016 · Called “Advanced Torpor Inducing Transfer Habitats for Human Stasis to Mars,” this research effort by John Bradford of Space Works Inc., in Atlanta, investigates how to place astronauts in a deep sleep state with reduced metabolic rates for trips between Earth and Mars.
The Voyager Interstellar Mission (VIM)'s primary goals are to characterize the outer solar system environment, search for the heliopause (the outer edge of the heliosphere), and study interstellar space, the space beyond the heliosphere.
12 Σεπ 2013 · NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft officially is the first human-made object to venture into interstellar space. The 36-year-old probe is about 12 billion miles (19 billion kilometers) from our sun. New and unexpected data indicate Voyager 1 has been traveling for about one year through plasma, or ionized gas, present in the space between stars.
1 Σεπ 1990 · A number of proposed methods of rapid (V>0.1c) interstellar travel are discussed, including pulsed fusion and antimatter powered rockets, laser pushed lightsails and interstellar ramjets.
