Low cost space transportation using a stable plasma for energy storage

This Phase I final report evaluates the concept of using a stable plasma (Electron Spiral Toroid) for high-density energy storage and advanced propulsion in space transportation systems. The technology proposes eliminating external containment fields while achieving specific impulses exceeding 60,000 seconds and dramatically reducing propulsion mass and launch costs, potentially lowering the overall cost and mass requirements for deep-space missions such as a Mars transit by up to 90%.
