NASA-funded pulsed plasma rocket concept aims to send astronauts to Mars in 2 months

An innovative rocket system, the Pulsed Plasma Rocket (PPR) developed by Howe Industries, could significantly reduce travel time to Mars, making the trip in just two months.

Current propulsion technology requires nearly two years for a round trip to Mars. The PPR, featuring a high specific impulse, promises greater efficiency and faster travel for astronauts and cargo.

It uses a fission-based nuclear power system for thrust, making it smaller, simpler, and more affordable than previous concepts.

Additionally, the PPR could support heavier spacecraft, allowing for better shielding against harmful Galactic Cosmic Rays, Space.com reported.
