Ion Propulsion: The Stuhlinger Factor
[image: Ion Propulsion: The Stuhlinger Factor] How helpful can electric propulsion become as we plan missions into the local interstellar medium? We can think about this in terms of the Voyager probes, which remain our only operational craft beyond the heliosphere. Voyager 1 moved beyond the heliopause in 2012, which means 35 years between launch and heliosphere exit. But as Nadim Maraqten (Universität Stuttgart) noted in a presentation at the recent International Astronautical Congress, reaching truly unperturbed interstellar space involves getting to 200 AU. We’d like to move fas... read more

Oppose The Taiwan Policy Act Of 2022On September 14, the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved the Taiwan Policy Act of 2022.

If enacted as law, the landmark act would mark a radical shift away from the US One China policy that forms the bedrock of relations with Beijing since the 1980s.
