Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project Orion was the first engineering design study of a spacecraft powered by
nuclear pulse propulsion, an idea proposed first by Stanislaw Ulam during 1947.
The project, initiated in 1958, envisioned the explosion of atomic bombs behind
the craft and was led by Ted Taylor at General Atomics and physicist Freeman
Dyson, who at Taylor's request took a year away from the Institute for Advanced
Study in Princeton to work on the project.
By using energetic nuclear power, the Orion concept offered high thrust and
specific impulse at the same time; the optimum combination for spacecraft
propulsion. As a qualitative comparison, traditional chemical rockets (the Moon-
class Saturn V or the Space Shuttle being prime examples) provide (rather) high
thrust, but low specific impulse, whereas ion engines do the opposite. Orion
would have offered performance greater than the most advanced conventional or
nuclear rocket engines now being studied. Cheap interplanetary travel was the
goal of the Orion Project. Its supporters felt that it had potential for space
travel, but it lost political approval over concerns with fallout from its
propulsion. The Partial Test Ban Treaty of 1963 is generally acknowledged to
have ended the project.
