We had a great time speaking at the NASA Workshop on Interstellar Propulsion last week! Part of the 2019 Interstellar Symposium, the workshop focused on physics-based propulsion technologies that have the potential to meet the goal of launching an interstellar probe within the next century and achieving .1c transit velocity: Beamed Energy Propulsion, Fusion, and Antimatter. At this meeting, the state-of-the-art of each was examined, and competing approaches to advancing the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) were presented and assessed for synthesis into a report that will serve as the blueprint for possible future interstellar propulsion technology development. Cheers to the hosts for an inspiring week 🚀

We’re excited to announce our collaboration with the UC Berkeley Nuclear Engineering Department, bringing students, faculty, and our own physicists together to develop and test a new positron spectroscopy capability. Special thanks to Professor Peter Hosemann, Safety Coordinator Alan Bolind, and Grad Student Rasheed Auguste for a productive first week in the lab!
