Abstract
Fusion propulsion for exploring the solar system and beyond Dr Kelvin F Long, Aerospace Engineer and Astrophysicist, leads the Interstellar Research Centre, a division of Stellar Engines Ltd. He argues that fusion propulsion will enable the full exploration of the solar system and beyond. Beginning from the last century with the first orbital satellites placed into space, humanity explored all of the planets of our solar system using robotic probes. This includes the launch of the Voyager 1 and 2 probes in 1977 which are now far outside of the solar system and headed out into interstellar space. It is feasible that in the future we may construct probes that can go much faster and further.
